Shades of Deep Purple is the debut studio album by Deep Purple, released in July 1968 on Tetragrammaton in the United States and in September 1968 on Parlophone in the United Kingdom. The band, initially called Roundabout, was the idea of former Searchers drummer Chris Curtis, who recruited Jon Lord and Ritchie Blackmore before leaving the project. The Mk. I line-up of the band was completed by vocalist/frontman Rod Evans, along with bassist Nick Simper and drummer Ian Paice, in March 1968.
After about two months of rehearsals, Shades of Deep Purple was recorded in only three days in May 1968 and contains four original songs and four covers, thoroughly rearranged to include classical interludes and sound more psychedelic. Stylistically the music is close to psychedelic rock and progressive rock, two genres with an ever-growing audience in the late 1960s.

Let's start this Guys, not many of us in pre-survivor round but I hope that as further we go, the more participants will join. Solving the covers problem on first albums I decided to count them as normal DP songs, they are so much changed musically that easily we could do that. Regarding to results from pre-survivor round, only one song from Shades Of DP will be qualified into the finals, the second best song will go into the consolations. Of course, one round will last for 24 hours and You have one vote. So, it's time to eliminate. My first vote goes to -
Love Help Me.
