This example features the desirable early yellow and green Harvest labels, without the later boxed EMI logo or the earlier \"SOLD IN U.K.\" wording. The record carries the original A-1G \/ B-1G lacquer cuts, placing it firmly within the early UK pressing family. The original laminated sleeve is also present, complete with the Ernest J. Day \u0026amp; Co. printer credit on the reverse. This is an early UK repress rather than the very first label variation, retaining the original-era sleeve design and early matrix combination. Originally released in 1968, The Book Of Taliesyn was Deep Purple's second studio album and features the original Mark I lineup of Ritchie Blackmore, Rod Evans, Jon Lord, Nick Simper and Ian Paice. The album captures the band's early combination of psychedelic rock, progressive arrangements and emerging hard-rock sound. Highlights include Listen, Learn, Read On, the instrumental Wring That Neck, their interpretation of Neil Diamond's Kentucky Woman, and the extended arrangement of River Deep, Mountain High. The remarkable illustrated cover artwork, created by John Vernon Lord, remains one of the most distinctive designs in Deep Purple's early catalogue.
