Hey Joe

You know I shot her cos I caught her messing 'round town

Yes I did I shot her

Album notes:



SHADES OF DEEP PURPLE was recorded in about 18 hours between

May 11 and May 13 1968, just a few months after the group had

formed. The band was a combination of the groups ROUNDABOUT

(featuring Blackmore, Lord and Simper) and THE MAZE (featuring

Evans and Paice). Blackmore, Lord and Simper had been in the

music business for years, Evans and Paice for not quite as long,

but none of them had ever tasted major success before the release

of the album.

The album was released in September and made #24, while the

single off it, Hush, made #4.

Most of the initial set list was taken off this album together

with other covers. Of these songs, Hush and Mandrake Root were

the most popular; Hush being re-recorded in 1988, and Mandrake

Root clocking in at an unbelievable time of 28:42 on a live

album.
