From Shades of Deep Purple (1968). Shades of Deep Purple is the debut album by the English rock band Deep Purple, released in July 1968 on Tetragrammaton in the United States and in September 1968 on Parlophone in the United Kingdom. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson ES-335 through a Marshall 1959SLP Plexi Super Lead Reissue, the rig we use for Deep Purple's other songs from Shades of Deep Purple, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
