Rare Vintage DEEP PURPLE Test Record Pressing ROCK.

 

Here is a rare vintage record 6 song test pressing from DEEP PURPLE. It appears to be early work. I didn't know any of the songs... The vocalist appears to be "Ian Gillan". I can hear "Jon Lord's" keyboard.."Ian Paice" on drums and "Richie Blackmore" on guitar.. Slight mistakes on the guitar work. Sounds like early "Blackmore" guitar riffs. Lots of keyboard and drums... A few tracks have vocals. I don't see a date... ..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The record is in borderline good shape. It is a 12" 6 song EP type record. It is a test pressing from "COLUMBIA" records.. Santa Maria....The record is two sided "A" and a "B" side. Six songs total three per side. There is pen writing on the label saying side A and the reverse says Side B. On the side B label has a 30 written on it. This is an actual "Test Pressing" from "Columbia". The record numbers match the white record jacket. Those numbers are 2LS 2644 40249/50. The white record jacket says "DEEP PURPLE". This record is for sure "DEEP PURPLE". Nobody else plays like this... There is some pen writing on the white album jacket on the left side near the top. It has written "A" side numbered 1...2...3... and "B" side numbered 1...2...3... After each number is one to three stars. I guess the record was rated by the record company or the people originally selling this record. The white album jacket is in poor shape. It has split corners and edges. The inner white dust jacket has aged. The record is in borderline good shape. There are surface scratches to this record. The record label is white. I played the record both sides. Some light surface nosie is heard. No major popping. No skipping....The 30 marking seen on the record's label and the white jacket might be a price. I don't know. I'm purely guessing here... I don't know the song names. Like I mentioned above I haven't heard these cuts before. I'm a fan of "DEEP PURPLE" but I haven't heard all their works...
