We had the rare vinyl release of this Deep Purple album at home when I was a teeager and I'll always love their version of Hey Joe with the great spanish-like intro ! Yes, there is something other than Smoke on the Water ! A must for every DP collector !

4.0 out of 5 stars """Shades Of Deep Purple""", Jun 17 2004
This review is from: Shades of Deep Purple (Audio CD)
""Shades Of Deep Purple"", Deep Purple's first album, is a great one. It outsold the album that came after it, ""The Book Of Taliesyn"". This album was recorded with Rod Evans on Vocals, Jon Lord on Keyboards, Ritchie Blackmore on Guitars, Nicky Simper on Bass, and Ian Paice on Drums. This lineup was the greatest Deep Purple lineup of all time. "And The Address" is Blackmore/Lord, "Hush" and "Hush (Live US TV)" are South, "One More Rainy Day" is Lord/Evans, "Prelude:Happiness I'm So Glad" is Lord/Evans/Simper/Blackmore and Skip James, "Mandrake Root", "Love Help Me", and "Love Help Me (Instrumental Version)" are Blackmore/Evans, "Help" and "Help (Alternate Take)" are Lennon/McCartney", "Hey Joe" and "Hey Joe (BBC Top Gear Session)" are Roberts, and "Shadows (Album Out Take)" is Lord/Evans/Simper/Blackmore.

"And The Address" (4:38) (4/5): A trippy, psychedelic song with driving guitar and organ parts.

"Hush" (4:24) (5/5): What can one say about "Hush"? It is the best Deep Purple song of all time, the best song on this album, and the third-best Hard Rock song of all time. This is a cover of a song by Joe South. This song is where Deep Purple reached its absolute peak, proving that the Mark I Deep Purple lineup is the greatest of all Deep Purple lineups. This surpasses Joe South's version.

"One More Rainy Day" (3:39) (3/5): The second-worst song on the album. This song is a psychadelic/pop song. It's a bit slower than the first two songs on this album.

"Prelude: Happiness I'm So Glad" (7:19) (4/5): This song is a semi-cover of a song by Skip James, and the semi-cover surpasses the original. Becomes a rocking song later on.

"Mandrake Root" (6:09) (4/5): This song is underrated with a hard-rocking, bluesy riff.

"Help" (6:01) (4/5): This song is a cover of a song by The Beatles. This song is slower than the original song, and surpasses the original.

"Love Help Me" (3:49) (3/5): "Love Help Me" is the worst song on this album. It's another psychedelic/pop song. All in all, however, it's a very interesting song.

"Hey Joe" (7:33) (4/5): This song is a cover of a song by Billy Roberts. An extended instrumental sequence is added to the song, with the organ being the main instrument of this sequence. This version surpasses the original version.

"Shadows (Album Out Take)" (3:38) (4/5): This song is a studio outtake that never made it to the original vinyl version of ""Shades Of Deep Purple"". The song is very addictive, especially the chorus.

"Love Help Me (Instrumental Version)" (3:29) (4/5): This song is a version of "Love Help Me" without the Vocals.

"Help (Alternate Take)" (5:23) (4/5): This song is an alternate take of "Help", with the Vocals being different from "Help".

"Hey Joe (BBC Top Gear Session)" (4:05) (4/5): This song is a "BBC Top Gear Session" version of "Hey Joe". This version, however, does not have the extended instrumental sequence, with the Vocals being different from "Hey Joe".

"Hush (Live US TV)" (3:53) (4/5): This song is a version of "Hush" played on "Live US TV". The quality of sound in this version is awful. "Hush (Live US TV)" is shorter than "Hush".

5.0 out of 5 stars If "Hush" is any indication....., Jan 2 2004

This review is from: Shades of Deep Purple (Audio CD)
All I have been listening to for the last week is the song "Hush" by Deep Purple. I first heard it on one of the Music Choice channels offered by our local cable company. When I first heard it, I thought: "This is Deep Purple?" The music sounded 360 degrees different from their later major hit "Smoke On The Water". Wow! This one song alone is so great...I am really hoping the rest of the album follows suit (have not purchased the album yet). "Hush" is so psychedelic and ahead of its time....no wonder it's a classic! This is a definite must-have for any respectable CD collection....and don't worry...I will be buying my copy soon (as I can find one)!
