DEEP PURPLE & THE ROYAL PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA Concerto
For Group And Orchestra (Extremely rare 1970 original Japanese
blue label promo sample black vinyl LP pressed by
Warner-Pioneer. With labels showing only a couple of light
spindlemarks, the vinyl shows very little evidence of play and comes
issued in the heavyweight gatefold picture sleeve [which displays only
light shelfwear for its age] complete with the insert plus the
unbelievably rare all important 'Rock Age' shaped obi-strip in
incredible shape. An outstanding example and only the SECOND promo
copy we have ever seen P-8093W)
TRACKLISTING AND EXTRA INFORMATION
A1. FIRST MOVEMENT
* Moderato
* Allegro
* Vivace
A2. SECOND MOVEMENT: Andante Part 1
B1. SECOND MOVEMENT: Andante Conclusion
B2. THIRD MOVEMENT
In chronological terms this original LP is actually a second issue. The very first Japanese pressings of Concerto For Group And Orchestra were made by Toshiba Musical Industries, on red wax, but these were very quickly withdrawn after Toshiba were told they did not have permission to release the album. This created an instant rarity and in the past 20 years we've only seen 2 copies of the Toshiba pressing, and the one copy we had was actually a test pressing! The other was so expensive (into the £ thousands!) that we didn't buy it.
Whilst the Toshiba pressing is probably the most desirable issue to get hold of, this original Warner-Pioneer pressing is still the first official release and, with the square shaped 'Rock Age' obi, it's still near impossible to find complete and in near Mint condition. At over 45 years of age, it's not actually the record that's the hard part to get; as usual it's the all-important slim strip of paper that makes an original 1970 issue with the 'Rock Age' obi such a scarce item to find.
