DEEP PURPLE - Deep Purple In Rock

Item Description

Vinyl, , Gatefold
LP Album Reissue Stereo

This is late 1975 UK pressing.

The main difference from the previous issues:

1) Runouts: A2 / B3. A new master for Side B (B-3) was used for this reissue. The master was cut by [url=https://www.discogs.com/artist/465253-Harry-Moss] Harry T. Moss[/url] - EMI mastering and cutting engineer.
2) The figurate sections, logo and the rim text on labels are in a dark green shade compared to previous ones.

Other main identifiers:

- Laminated gatefold sleeve with 'Printed and Made by Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd.' in most cases have an additional fine keyline box around the EMI and Harvest logos on the front of the sleeve. But the 1st sleeve variant with a single bold line around the logos is still valid.
- EMI paper inner sleeve with 'Care Of Your Record' box high centre, 'Important Notice' box in low centre and 'Made In Great Britain' above 'Patent Nos. 1125555' near the bottom (since about late 1974 to early 1977)
- The upper rim text begins with 'EMI RECORDS LTD.' (since about May 1974);
-The inscription 'MADE IN GT. BRITAIN' is inlined with the lower rim text (at the end) under the circular bottom line (since about May 1974 to about 1981);
- Runouts: A2 / B3 (since about mid 1975 to 1976);
- The boxed 'EMI' logo on labels (since about June 1971);
- Song listing in 2 lines on both sides (since about the second half of 1972);
- The Ⓟ icon (under the 'Side A/B' indicator on labels) is the same size as the year '1970' to the right of it (since about December 1970 / January 1971).
