	£		28
	$		37

   Deep Purple IN LIVE CONCERT AT THE ROYAL ALBERT HALL "CONCERTO FOR GROUP AND ORCHESTRA" COMPOSED BY JON LORD. The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra Conducted by Malcolm Arnold  
AS WITH MOST DEEP PURPLE ALBUMS THERE WERE LOTS OF DIFFERENT PRESSINGS, AND RELEASE TIMES, SO A REAL NIGHTMARE TO FIND THE CORRECT PRESSING, AND YEAR OF RELEASE BUT I CAN TELL YOU.... THIS IS AN ORIGINAL UK 1ST PRESS, AND RELEASED IN DECEMBER 1969, AND HAS, 'THE GRAMOPHONE CO LTD' LABEL RIM TEXT, NO EMI BOXES ON THE LABEL, AND 'MADE IN GT BRITAIN', ON THE BOTTOM OF THE LABELS, AND COMES IN THE EARLIEST UK 1ST PRESS GATEFOLD, PRINTED BY, 'THE E J DAY GROUP'.

NOW THIS ALBUM IS WITH THE  MK II LINE UP WITH, JOHN LORD, IAN PAICE, RITCHIE BLACKMORE, IAN GILLAN, AND ROGER GLOVER !!!!
THIS IS DEEP PURPLE WHO WERE PART OF THE BIG FOUR IN THE LATE 60's AND 70's. THEY WERE FORMED IN LONDON IN 1968, AND LIKE ALL THEIR ALBUMS, A ROCK MASTERPIECE. BUT THIS ONE IS A BIT DIFFERENT, AND REALLY A VERY UNIQUE ALBUM, AND SO A VERY SAD FROM MY TREASURED PERSONAL VINYL COLLECTION !!!!    DISCLAIMER :: ALL MY LP'S LISTED ON THIS SITE ARE ORIGINAL AND NOT FAKE OR COUNTERFEIT, AND ARE SOLD IN GOOD FAITH. THEY WERE BOUGHT ON THE DATE OF ISSUE. THANK YOU !!

THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1969 UK 1ST PRESS  ::  SHVL 767   A-1 ::  SHVL 767  B-1 .

ON THE 1ST PRESS HARVEST LABELS  ::  SHVL 767 .
WITH, 'THE GRAMOPHONE CO LTD' RIM TEXT .
WITH NO, 'EMI BOXES' ON THE LABELS .
ALSO WITH, 'MADE IN GT BRITAIN' ON THE BOTTOM OF THE LABELS .

COVER ::  ORIGINAL EARLIEST UK 1ST PRESS FRONT AND BACK LAMINATED GATEFOLD, PRINTED AND MADE BY THE E J DAY GROUP, LONDON AND BEDFORD, GARROD & LOFTHOUSE Ltd, WITH LOVELY SOLID SPINE AND EDGES, JUST A SMALL RUB ON THE CORNERS, AND THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL SHARP. THE LAMINATE IS ALSO LOVELY, JUST A FEW SMALL LAMINATE CREASE LINES AROUND THE EDGES, AND INSIDE THE GATEFOLD, NOTHING TO REPORT, SO WITH NOTHING ELSE, I WOULD GRADE   :: EX/EX- . BUT NEARER TO EX !!!!

VINYL :: PLAYS SUPERB, AND WILL BE DIFFICULT TO BETTER, AS THERE ARE SOME QUIETER PARTS, BUT NO, STATIC, CRACKLE, POPS, CLICKS, STICKS, SKIPS OR JUMPS, AND ALL I HEARD WAS....

ON SIDE 1 :: WONDERFUL AUDIO, WITH JUST THREE VERY FAINT TICKS JUT AFTER THE START OF TRACK 1, ON THE VERY QUIET INTRO, AND THREE FAINT TICKS TOWARDS THE END OF THE LAST TRACK, AND THAT'S ALL !!!!

ON SIDE 2 :: AGAIN JUST WONDERFUL AUDIO, AND THIS TIME, JUST THREE VERY FAINT TICKS, FOLLOWED A BIT FURTHER ON BY THREE MORE VERY FAINT TICKS, TOWARDS THE END OF THE LAST TRACK, AND I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT THESE ARE VERY FAINT, AND DO NOT SPOIL YOUR LISTENING PLEASURE !!!!

VISUALLY, UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT, THE VINYL STILL HAS A LOVELY SHINE, JUST LITERALLY, ON SIDE 1, A MORE NOTICEABLE TINY COSMETIC THIN SCUFF AT THE VERY END OF TRACK 1, A SMALL HARMLESS SCUFF MARK IN THE MIDDLE OF TRACK 2, AND A SMALL SCUFF COSMETIC MARK ON THE DEAD WAX RUN OFFS.

WHILE ON SIDE 2, JUST TWO SMALL COSMETIC HAIRLINES.

THE AUDIO REALLY IS LOVELY AND AS DESCRIBED, AND WITH NOTHING ELSE, I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO, A VERY STRONG :: EX .

LABELS :: NICE AND CLEAN, JUST LITERALLY A COUPLE OF SMALL FAINT SPINDLE LINES AT THE CENTRE, SEEN UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT :: EX/EX+ .

ORIGINAL POLYLINED INNER ::  NO WRITING, OR SPLITS, JUST A BIT OF AGEING AND THE VINYL WILL COME IN A NEW POLYLINED INNER ALONG WITH THE ONE DESCRIBED ABOVE  :: VG/VG+ .

AS YOU MIGHT HAVE NOTICED, ALTHOUGH THIS WAS RELEASED IN LATE DECEMBER 1969, IT ACTUALLY HAS 1970 ON THE LABELS, WHICH IS CORRECT, AS THERE ARE NO LABELS WITH 1969 ON, AND THE ORIGINAL INNER IS FROM 1969. 

YES ANOTHER DEEP PURPLE MASTERPIECE, AND WITH THE MK 2 LINE UP, AND AS YOU HAVE SEEN, IT PLAYS REALLY WELL !!!! THANK YOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME !!!! ROSE.
