180g Audiophile Vinyl 3LP!
Recorded September 24th, 1969 at London's Royal Albert Hall, Jon Lord's Concerto For Group and Orchestra really was a meeting of two different worlds, combining rock and classical modes. The first album to feature the classic Mk2 line-up of Deep Purple, it was originally released on Harvest Records in 1970 as a single LP. Now across six sides of vinyl, this is the very first time that the night's entire performance, starting with Sir Malcolm Arnold conducting The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra for his Symphony No. 6, Op. 95, and ending with the encore of the Third Movement: Vivace-Presto, has appeared on LP.
Deep Purple survived a seemingly endless series of lineup changes and a dramatic mid-career shift from grandiose progressive rock to ear-shattering heavy metal to emerge as a true institution of the British hard rock community; once credited in The Guinness Book of World Records as the globe's loudest band. Their revolving-door roster launched the careers of performers including Ritchie Blackmore, David Coverdale, and Ian Gillan.
"Ritchie Blackmore sounds great and plays his heart out, and you can tell this band is going to go somewhere, just by virtue of the energy that they put into these extended pieces." -Bruce Eder, allmusic.com
