The Book of Taliesyn is the second studio album by the English rock band Deep Purple, recorded only three months after Shades of Deep Purple and released by Tetragrammaton Records in October 1968, just before their first US tour.
Formed in early 1968 by Jon Lord, Ian Paice, Rod Evans, Ritchie Blackmore, and Nick Simper, Deep Purple released their debut album, Shades of Deep Purple, in July of that year. The band has taken on many new members over the years, and Ian Paice is the last member from the original line-up still with the band.
When We Rock, We Rock, and When We Roll, We Roll is a compilation album by Deep Purple featuring some of their most popular songs from 1968 to 1974.. The LP was released in October 1978 by Warner Bros. Records in North America and Japan only, as counterpart to The Deep Purple Singles A's and B's, which was simultaneously released in other markets.
In late 1968, Deep Purple had embarked on a successful first US tour to promote their second album The Book of Taliesyn, and returned home on 3 January 1969. [1] The band was considered an underground act in the United Kingdom, but word of their success in America had influenced their reputation at home, as they gradually rose in popularity and request.
The resulting album from Deep Purple Mark IV, Come Taste the Band, was released in October 1975, one month before Bolin's Teaser album. Despite mixed reviews and middling sales (#19 in the UK and #43 in the US), the collection revitalised the band once again, bringing a new, extreme funk edge to their hard rock sound. [ 83 ]
The cover art was created by stamping the album title into a polished metal sheet, which was held up to act as a mirror in front of which the group stood. The photographer Shepard Sherbell then took a picture of the reflection; a small trace of him can be made out on the finished picture (just below the "Head" text).
While drinking wine, Bol's invention turns this into "come taste the band". The cover art was developed by Castle, Chappell & Partners, [43] who were also responsible for the cover of Deep Purple's Fireball album. For the cover, the band used a wine glass engraved with calligraphy, by Ken Cooper. [44]
