Deep Purple: The Book of Taliesyn

Deep Purple: The Book of Taliesyn.  I know very little about Deep Purple - either I was too young or they were not in my wheelhouse.  This is a truly great cover album cover.  You can see all of the names of the band members listed by first name on the front cover - in what looks like a balloon.  They are: Ritchie, Rod, Ian, Nikcy, and Jon.  The art work is by John Vernon Lord.  Based on the complex design and artwork - this cover is one of the best I've posted in the history of my blog.  Deep Purple's secord album, from 1968 - they cover some specatular songs: Neil Diamond's Kentucky Woman?  And, We Can Work Out, by the Beatles.  And if that's not enough - they tackle, quite nicely, the epic River Deep, Mountain High.  After reading what Tina Turner went through recording that song for Phil Spector - no one should try to cover it.
