This record features the original group with Rod Evans on lead vocals and Nick Simper on bass. Evans was later of the band Captain Beyond. That lineup was always my favorite when I first saw them open up for Cream in late 1968. This record has more of that classical feel to it than the later hard rock sound. The song "The Shield" and "Wring that Neck" are among the standouts. This album capture that late sixties British vibe that merged heavy guitar riffs with the classic Hammond organ sound. Rod Evans was a great singer and I preferred him over the latter Ian Gillian who was great in his own way, but more suited for hard rock. It is still in print on vinyl which is hard to believe since some of their more popular records are not. However I like this along with the "Shades of Deep Purple" and "Deep Purple" of which I think is the best of this trio. Fans of the later line up may not be as fond of these because the music is much different. ## Frequently Bought Together - Book of Taliesyn - Deep Purple --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/15426258-book-of-taliesyn](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/15426258-book-of-taliesyn) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-26*
