Shades of Deep Purple: 55th Anniversary
The debut album, it begins here, it means the band is about more or less 55 years old. Wow!
A strong debut IMHO, the only song I don't like is "Help", I still listens to this album. Rod Evans kinda remind of Elvis Presley, if only he did not agree to the Bogus Deep Purple, he could have released more albums.
I love "Mandrake Root", "I'm So Glad", "And the Address", "Hey Joe" and others, except "Help". 
This album deserves a reissue.
What do you think of this album???

By the way I wish they named this just "Deep Purple" to avoid confusion with the third album.

MKI are my second favorite after the mighty MKII. "And the Address" is still one of their best album opening songs. Not a bad track on this album as far as I am concerned.
