ATTENTION DEEP PURPLE,PROGRESSIVE ROCK AND HARVEST LABEL COLLECTORS AS WELL AS CONDITION UPGRADERS! HERE'S AN ESSENTIAL 1970 ALBUM CALLED "DEEP PURPLE IN ROCK". YOU WILL STRUGGLE TO HEAR A BETTER VINYL COPY THAN THIS EXAMPLE WHICH HAS NOT HAD MANY PLAYS BOUGHT BY A DEEP PURPLE FAN AND SERIOUS HI-FI FANATIC WHO WAS VERY FUSSY WITH HIS RECORDS AND THE EQUIPMENT USED!  THIS IS AN ORIGINAL UK REPRESSING ON THE HARVEST LABEL WITH JUST NO EMI BOX LOGOS FROM WITHIN THE FIRST FEW WEEKS OF ISSUE! LATER ONES HAD ONE OR TWO LOGOS.

NOT ONLY THAT IS HAS THE EARLIEST KNOWN MATRIXES WHICH ARE A-2 AND B-1(SEE THE RECORD COLLECTOR PRICE GUIDE BOOK) AS WELL AS THE GRAMOPHONE CO.LTD RIM TEXT, LATER ONES HAVING EMI RECORDS RIM TEXT.

THE LABELS HAVE NO SPINDLE WEAR,STAINING OR WRITING!

 EMI PRESSED HARVEST LABELS:SHVL 777 WITH    A-2/B-1 MATRIXES.

THIS HAS THE LAMINATED GATEFOLD COVER WHICH IS JUST ABOUT PERFECT WITH A MUCH THICKER SPINE THAN LATER REPRINTS AND A LOVELY GLEAM AND SHEEN THAT YOU RARELY SEE ON ALBUMS OF THIS VINTAGE!

NO WRITING,STAINING,RIPS OR REPAIRS.

JUST A FEW EDGE CREASES.

THE HARVEST LPs INNER SLEEVE HAS THE PATENT NUMBERS AS ON THE EARLIEST INNERS AND HAS NO WRITING,RIPS OR REPAIRS.

 THE RECORD HAS A FEW ULTRA FAINT AND SMALL HAIRLINE SURFACE MARKS IN VERY STRONG LIGHT-TOTALLY MAGNIFICENT!.

I STRUGGLED TO HEAR ANY SURFACE NOISE!.

STRICTLY GRADED AS NEAR MINT CONDITION. 

MY LOW AND REALISTIC STARTING PRICE OF £15 WOULD BE SNAPPED UP AT MOST RECORD COLLECTORS SHOPS OR AT RECORD FAIRS!

POSTAGE COSTS AS FOLLOWS:

UK £4-50 INCLUDING 1ST CLASS SIGNED FOR. EUROPE £6-50 REST OF THE WORLD £9-50

The vast majority of copies sold of this album were often played on poor equipment,in many cases taken to parties or played in smokey clubs,not well cared for with no long term investment in mind!    

An ideal opportunity to add a superb album to your collection that is bound to rise in value,especially in this condition!
