A great 3 record live album from Purple in the year 1976, recorded in Long Beach, CA. This is #808 of 3000 copies produced worldwide and comes from Ear-Music in Germany. I have heard a bootleg of this decades ago, not really sure how this sounds as it is still sealed. This has the great Tommy Bolin and David Coverdale in the band at the time which was one of my favorite lineups of the band. This is pretty hard to come by in the US, lots of copies if you want to buy from overseas. Shrink has 4 very small slits upper right of cover that you can see in picture, otherwise jacket is gorgeous!
