It’s fantastic that old mono recordings are getting the CD treatment. The original mono mixes of the old Beatles albums were a revelation to those who had never heard them before. The original mono versions of Deep Purple’s Shades Of Deep Purple and Book Of Taliesyn are less surprising, but still a welcome addition for completists who want to hear it “as it was” in 1968. Comparisons are difficult, but both albums sound like they were meant to be in stereo. Unlike The Beatles pop rock compositions, Deep Purple’s featured a lot of slo work and even full-blown orchestral movements. The stereo separation makes that easier to appreciate. Only Purple’s third album, 1969’s self-titled Deep Purple, did not receive a mono mix. It is presented here in stereo only. Now, these three Purple albums all received the deluxe edition treatment (single discs) in the year 2000. Those versions on Spitfire are still excellent ways to get this early Deep Purple music. They are fairly common, have great liner notes and pictures, and feature the stereo versions plus 14 bonus tracks combined between them. There is also a compilation CD called The Early Years featuring more bonus tracks, including 2003 remixes and live takes. Where HARD ROAD: THE MARK 1 STUDIO RECORDINGS 1968-69 fails is in replacing these previous four CDs completely. One would hope you would get all the associated bonus tracks from this period in one handy-dandy box. Sadly this box is not quite so dandy. The live BBC songs can also be found on the double CD BBC Sessions…except for HARD ROAD: THE MARK 1 STUDIO RECORDINGS 1968-69. For just about anyone else, HARD ROAD: THE MARK 1 STUDIO RECORDINGS 1968-69 will satisfy their need for pretty much all the Deep Purple Mark I they can handle. It’s not as complete as the title would let on, what with that live “Hush” and alternate take of “Kentucky Woman” missing in action. Instead you will receive a large booklet with plenty of notes. Here describes an early version of the band called “Roundabout” (with Bobby Woodman on drums and Chris Curtis on bass) as “bland”. Each disc comes in its own LP-style sleeve. It’s a gorgeous set. It sounds fantastic, and was assembled with the usual care that goes into a Deep Purple album. A few niggling missing tracks aside, this is highly recommended to those looking add the first three Purple to their collection.
