Description
When Deep Purple took the stage at the rock festival in Aachen, Germany on July 10 1970 an enterprising individual managed to run an extra line into the soundboard and a recorder was running out of sight. The resulting recording became the first DP bootleg:
The first pressing I have is called Space and side one of the one disc is called was titled simply “Space” and was available in late 1970, either as a double (two discs in a single cover) or as two single discs. I am selling one single disc Vol one Mandrake Root :time 15.25 min , side two Space, time: 16.05.Distributed across Europe and UK in early 1971.” The other disc, i.e disc two is pretty confusing, side one starts with black night/paint it black, and has 3 ITALY on the play out groove and side 4 starts with DP warming up and introducing Richie Blackmore and Jon Lord who then break into an instrumental called wring that neck.
This is the complete first bootleg of Deep Purple.However the label on the bootleg presents it as PROGRESSIVE RECORDS: LIVE WIRE LISTING 5 tracks each side............... I guess this was to get round the problems of recording bootlegs, neverthe less very very rare and very interesting to a collector.
Disc containing sides 3&4 is in okay condition and certainly plays with some crackles but there are no horrible jumps, bumps etc.
Ritchie Blackmore • guitar
Ian Gillan • vocals
Jon Lord • organ
Ian Paice • drums
Roger Glover • bass guitar
Some information about the bootleg origin:
