3/5 ·
1967/ 1976
"Shades Of Deep Purple" is the debut LP of Deep Purple, one of the inventors of Heavy Metal. But Shades Of Deep Purple is (and this in not only my opinion) a great example of Psychedelic Proto Prog malbum. In this album is present "Hush", a great Joe South cover, a hit in USA and DP evergreen. Also "Mandrake Root" is a DP evergreen and one of the best DP original tracks. But the rest of the album is not at the same level (But Beatles cover "Help" is good because very emotional).

In general this album is a typical album for 1968 with a good mix between Proto Prog and Psychedelic Rock but not representative og MkI.
