THIS IS A COMPLETE GENUINE RARE UK PRESS AND IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO BUY A COMPLETE EXAMPLE FROM A ROCK GIANT.

Burn is the eighth studio album by Deep Purple. It was recorded in Montreux, Switzerland, in November 1973 with the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio, and released in February 1974.
It introduced new lead vocalist David Coverdale and new bassist / vocalist Glenn Hughes from Trapeze. This was the first Deep Purple album with the Mark III line-up. With the addition of Coverdale and Hughes, Purple's hard rock sound became more boogie / blues oriented, incorporating elements of soul and funk which would become much more prominent on the follow-up album, Stormbringer.
This classic Purple album went gold in the UK, America and France and was recently re released as a 30th anniversary special edition. "Coronarias Redig" was recorded during these sessions, but not used on the album, appearing as a B-side on the "Might Just Take Your Life" single. It appears as a bonus track (in remixed form) on the anniversary edition re-release.

TOP AUDIO 

ALBUM PLAYED FOR GRADING: Yes – Fantastic SOUND THROUGHOUT! 

BURN is a complex and varied collection of music, and is also a relatively sensitive piece of vinyl, and hard to find in clear audio condition. Early pressings were notoriously variable in their quality and they were prone to heavy wear and sound defects.  

The vinyls were played on heavy equipment, taken to parties, listened to in smoking atmospheres and allowed to collect dust, which became embedded in the groves. Worn copies can have a lot of surface sound even on musically complex and busy tracks like 'What's Going On Here.' Of course all vinyl, even unplayed or barely played pieces like this, have occasional static, but that is not the same as noise cased by scratches or deeply encrusted grooves. This pressing has strong undistorted audio, with amazingly clear sound. There is certainly no  interference, and NO loud pops or clicks. And certainly not a hint of Distortion anywhere. It really sounds great and plays with great sound separation and clarity! Wonderful TOP audio, there is NO distortion and virtual silence between the tracks. 

This vinyl is an absolute gem! It must be the clearest original pressings of 'Burn' I've heard. 

I will give a detailed account below:






Beginning with the iconic track title 'Burn, the music bursts in with crystal clear audio, no pops or clicks and nice clean run ins. Moving into the bluesy 'Might Just Take Your Life', which demonstrates Deep Purple subtle production layering, with notes and effects that are usually lost on most even relatively played vinyls. Here the audio sings out with amazing clarity.  'Lay Down Stay Down'  sings out with very little static in the run ins and quiet areas. Great music with great clarity, and so hard to find with this type of sound. Still no pops or clicks during the music, and not a hint of distortion. In fact I may as well confirm now that there is not a hint of distortion anywhere on this great vinyl.  'Sail Away' plays with crystal clear sound, and the instrumental section layered again, sounds great. Superb clear bright sound, amazing, the vinyl plays with super clear sound. 

Side 2. starts off with 'You Fool No One', following near silent run ins, and again in the the upbeat 'What's Going On Here', the audio is just superb, with minimal static and clear vocal layering. 'Mistreated' also sings out, with great clarity and an amazing lack of surface sound. This track can be blighted with loud pops, clicks, buzzing crackle and distortion, but not here. There is a bit of distant occasional static, and a single light pop in the middle, but even with that it plays with stunning clear audio.

All the way through every track plays with incredible definition. A total lack of loud pops, clicks, interference, and certainly no distortion anywhere on this great pressing, makes this a truly incredible collectable press of this great record. Rounding off with the massive 'A' 200', it play superbly, maintaining the high audio standard set by every other track on this lp. There is some slight static at points on this record, but nothing dominant, and to be honest, you have to have your head against the speaker to pick up any. The music jumps out, with definition and clarity, the vocals come through with tremendous power. Its the same with the bass guitar and drums, whilst the guitars multi layers come through crisp and clear. The tonal quality make this a sensational pressing. With the clear and extra loud First cut engineering giving the audio a vibrant sound which cannot be beaten.

Huge bright clear sound that is so hard to find on any pressing of Burn, and this 1st press is just incredible. 

A great all round example of this classic vinyl. Staggering 1st Stereo mix. A fantastic all round example of this great vinyl. Has to grade at NEAR MINT.

THE RECORD – VISUAL GRADING 

Visually immaculate, this is a superb piece of glossy vinyl, and a really thick pressing. Deep clear grooves that can only be found on the original pressings, this vinyl has been played only a couple of times. The record has great shine, with NO scratches and NO hairlines. Inspected under a spot light, it still looks unmarked, with no obvious paper removal marks, or whispy lines. This is a stunning example, truly archive quality, and the ultimate final upgrade. Unbelievable to think its nearly 40 years old! 

Grades at NEAR MINT.

A great all round Complete and Rare example of this DEEP PURPLE MASTERPIECE

Super Clear press, which pack amazing drive and punch.

THE LABELS 

Famous Purple labels are in NEAR MINT Condition. A great set with no spindle wear, just a couple of extremely faint tiny ultra faint spindle traces.   Great all round examples!

Grades at NEAR MINT.

VINYL TESTED FOR ANY SIGNS OF WARPING: 

Yes, NONE visible what so ever, when tested be sight and on a moving turntable.

THE COVER 

Comes with the original Side Loading Sleeve in great condition. Burn is an incredibly difficult vinyl to find in great condition and with a great cover. All early pressings of the record came with an extremely thin un laminated single sleeve, and they would just get knackered straight away. 

This is a greta example, a UK ORIGINAL 1st press cover. 

Made in thin card and non laminated on the front or rear. This cover has little to fault it, other than a couple of light creases at the edge of the spine and a few light indentations. Has been stored in a thick plastic sleeve. 

There is no feathering to the openings, which is very rare. There is some light ring wear only. The spine is solid and un flattened and the text is complete and fully legible. All round this is a really nice strong example of this rare cover! 

Easily grades at  VERY GOOD PLUS to EXCELLENT.

THE INNER

Comes with the original white PATENT inner, in superb condition, with no rips tears or stains. It would be hard to better. 

Easily grades at  EXCELLENT PLUS.

SCRUPULOUS EXAMINATION and TESTING:

All our records are play tested on highly sensitive equipment to ensure the sound quality and accuracy of description. We aim to give a precise and concise description of the sound, pointing out the slightest defect so that you know exactly what you are buying. We aim to describe all records as accurately as possible, and offer a full refund on return if for any reason you are not completely happy with the item description.

VINYL SOUND - PLEASE NOTE:

Highest quality vinyl with clear sound is rare, and what we always aim for. We only sell records that play with TOP AUDIO performance; super clear sound uninterrupted by hiss or other interference. Even with the cleanest pressing you will find occasional static or occasional light tics during playback, caused by a build of dust in the grooves. This is clearly different from the distortion, loud pops, repeating tics or clicks that are found on heavily played and worn pieces of vinyl. Any static build up will reduce when played, and we advise a light clean between plays for optimal performance.
