180 gram exact repro reissue of the band's debut, recorded in three days in 1968. They cover The Beatles "Help," Skip James' "I'm So Glad" and Joe South's "Hush," but the winner is a vaguely pre-"Smoke On The Water" song called "Mandrake Root." According to the back cover:
"From outer space comes a plaintive cry; it echoes off the Himalayas and finds its resting place at home.
" Right.

T 119HLP
180 gram exact repro reissue, featuring the full insane Hieronymus Bosch cover art. Recorded with the band's first line-up -- lead singer Rod Evans, bassist Nick Simper, organist Jon Lord and guitarist Ritchie Blackmore) -- and the IQ-level is at an all time high. Tracks include a cover of Donovan's "Lalena" (
"...done how we thought Donovan might like to have heard it"
), "The Painter" (
"recorded live; no double tracking"
), "April" (
"A sort of 3-part concert about the month of April"
) and "Fault Line" (
"Recorded when we heard that we were going to be in L.A. at earthquake time"
). What a bunch of geniuses.
