Sitting halfway between prog and metal, this 1968 LP found the young Deep Purple pairing strings and stately organ with stomping hard rock. Their Top 40 take on Kentucky Woman and hit version of River Deep-Mountain High join their originals The Shield; Anthem , and more; includes five bonus outtakes and BBC Top Gear sessions!
