There is some marking on both sides but most of it is only visible under a lamp and is light in texture - hairline I think people call, but I dont like to use the expression, as for reroduction all I can say is its good with a good MONO reproduction throughtout - I only managed to hear a couple of small background clicks, there is light background crackle in places, notably on the run in and intro to side 1 and on the seperators, but I am sitting 18 inches from a bank of speakers, and it may benefit from a a few plays and a good machine clean.
and after all how many of these 1G copies are there left out there.

INNER /EXTRAS N/A DETAILS The usual perception of early Deep Purple is that it was a band with a lot of potential in search of a direction.
And that might be true of their debut LP, put together in three days of sessions in May of 1968, but it s still a hell of an album.
From the opening bars of And the Address, it s clear that they d gotten down the fundamentals of heavy metal from day one, and at various points the electricity and the beat just surge forth in ways that were startlingly new in the summer of 1968.
Ritchie Blackmore never sounded less at ease as a guitarist than he does on this album, and the sound mix doesn t exactly favor the heavier side of his playing, but the rhythm section of Nick Simper and Ian Paice rumble forward, and Jon Lord s organ flourishes, weaving classical riffs, and unexpected arabesques into I m So Glad, which sounds rather majestic here.
Hush was the number that most people knew at the time it was a hit single in America , and it is a smooth, crunchy interpretation of the Joe South song.
But nobody could have been disappointed with the rest of this record -- one can even hear the very distant origins of Smoke on the Water in Mandrake Root, once one gets past the similarities to Jimi Hendrix s Foxy Lady by the song s extended finale, they sound more like the Nice.
Their version of Help is one of the more interesting reinterpretations of a Beatles song, as a slow, rough-textured dirge.
Hey Joe is a bit overblown, and the group clearly had to work a bit at both songwriting and their presentation, but one key attribute that runs through most of this record -- even more so than the very pronounced heaviness of the playing -- is a spirit of fun these guys are obviously having the time of their lives rushing through their limited repertoire, and it s infectious to the listener it gives this record much more of a 60s feel than we re accustomed to hearing from this band.
