Deep Purple released "When We Rock, We Rock And When We Roll, We Roll" in October 1978 on Warner Bros. Records. It is a compilation of their greatest hits that were recorded between 1968 and 1974 and was released two years after the band's initial break-up. It includes "My Woman From Tokyo," "Smoke On The Water," "Kentucky Woman," "Hush," "Burn," and more.
This Promo copy of (PRK 3223) is from the First Pressing and is in excellent condition. The cover still has its gloss and is in Near-Mint condition. Please see the pictures. The disc test plays cleanly and is easily VG+ which is as high as I go on vintage vinyl. This copy was pressed at the Capitol Records plant in Los Angeles. The Side One dead wax is etched PRK-1 3223 LW3 2 ✲.
In addition to its original packaging, this album will come with a high quality Anti-Static Round Bottom Inner Sleeve to hold the vinyl disc and a sturdy 3 mil. polyethylene Archival Quality Outer Sleeve.  It will ship securely in the special corrugated Album Mailer seen in the last picture. 
This vintage 12" vinyl album has been sitting upright on a shelf in climate controlled storage for the past 43 years. It has not been played in decades other than a quick test spin for this sale which found no skips or obvious flaws. Like all used records it should be cleaned and wiped with an anti-static brush to minimize the occasional pops that are part of playing vinyl albums. Buyers should note that this is a well-cared for but used record and it will have some minor imperfections.
