This remastered collection of songs from the band's formative years, 1968-69, when the lineup was comprised of Rod Evans, Nick Simper, Ritchie Blackmore, Ian Paice, and Jon Lord. Most of the LP features previously unavailable songs.

The Early Years contain a combination of 14 remixes and unreleased tracks from Deep Purple's earliest lineup: Rod Evans on vocals, bassist Nick Simper, guitarist Ritchie Blackmore, drummer Ian Paice, and keyboardist Jon Lord. Originally recorded in the late '60s, these songs initially showed up on the band's first three albums: Shades of Deep Purple, Deep Purple, and Book of Taliesyn. Now fans can hear alternate versions of favorites including "Kentucky Woman," "Hush," "I'm So Glad," and "Wring That Neck." This isn't the heavy metal band of Machine Head that would become known for Blackmore's classic guitar riffs and second vocalist Ian Gillan's thunderous metal shrieking. The Early Years captures a pop-oriented band transforming into the gods of metal they were about to become with 1970's Deep Purple in Rock. ~ Al Campbell

Digitally remastered compilation from the band's early years (the "MK 1" edition that included Rod Evans, Nick Simper, Ritchie Blackmore, Ian Paice and Jon Lord. The material here was recorded 1968-69 and most of the tracks are previously unreleased.

5 stars For collectors and casual fans, too!
This nice compilation is aimed at both collectors and Deep Purple casual listeners. It contains sone of the finest moments of Deep Purple Mk1, with original remastered tracks, some re-mixes and even a couple of alternate takes: "Kentucky Woman" and an instrumental "Lalena". It comes with extensive liner notes.
