Description
The Book of Taliesyn is the second studio album by Deep Purple, recorded only three months after Shades of Deep Purple and released by Tetragrammaton Records in October 1968, just before their first US tour. The name for the album was taken from the 14th-century Book of Taliesin.
The structure of the album is similar to that of their debut, with four original songs and three rearranged covers, although the tracks are longer, the arrangements more complex and the sound more polished than on Shades of Deep Purple. The music style is a mix of psychedelic rock, progressive rock and hard rock, with several inserts of classical music arranged by the band's keyboard player Jon Lord.
This copy is an Italian Import. It has an extremely rare overprinted front cover - see photos. I have not been able to find another example of this fault.
It is in excellent condition as is the cover.
I have lots of LPs to list including about 15 by Deep Purple. I am happy to combine postage.
