If your taste in music is mature enough... If you can appreciate more than one type of music, then check out this box of Deep purple MK1. From ballads to roots metal(no pop metal here!!!)you'll find everything they recorded. And the liner notes alone are worth the price of admission. Submitted by a reviewer (Grapevtew, Wa.

Deep Purple MK1 The original line up(MK1)of this legendary band is much overlooked by fans of the latter Deep purple line up(MK2 & MK3). The first two albums were rushed by the label in their haste to capitalize on the obvious talent of this group. Even that didn't stop these guys from producing two fine albums-but, for their 3rd project, they were allowed to take their time, and it really shows. Do yourself a favor and listen to Deep purple MK1! Submitted by a reviewer (Grapeview, Wa. USA) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo 1 of 1 found this helpful.
