Album notes:
(NOTE: These notes are taken from a reissue)
SHADES OF DEEP PURPLE was recorded in about 18 hours between May 11 and May 13
1968, just a few months after the group had formed. The band was a combination of the groups
ROUNDABOUT (featuring Blackmore, Lord and Simper) and THE MAZE (featuring Evans
and Paice). Blackmore, Lord and Simper had been in the music business for years, Evans and
Paice for not quite as long, but none of them had ever tasted major success before the release
of the album.
The album was released in September and made #24, while the single off it, Hush, made #4.
Most of the initial set list was taken off this album together with other covers. Of these songs,
Hush and Mandrake Root were the most popular; Hush being re-recorded in 1988, and
Mandrake Root clocking in at an unbelievable time of 28:42 on a live album.
Comments: These sleeve notes are slightly incorrect. Roundabout was the original name of Deep Purple.
Indeed they were billed as Roundabout on their live debut dates in Denmark, April 1968. And the
lineup was the same as on this album.
