I was almost 14 yrs old when Burn was released, thankfully I think I have aged well.

I cannot understand how they blew it, they were in mk2 line up, the cleverest and fastest of the 3 heavies, and they had the best voice. I even prefer mk1 line up with Evans on vocals compared to what they became after Burn, which had some good moments but for me is less valuable than Deep Purple (1969).

I'm guessing with confidence that the 3 heavies were LZ/BS/DP!

@noromance you are absolutely correct.

 

 

Loved Mk 1 DP with Rod Evans, and of course Mk II with Ian Gillan, but I lost interest when Hughes and Coverdale came in. But I know a lot of people loved that lineup, too.... 

I agree loved the MK 1 and 2 bands still play them today. It's too bad the very early LPs go so under appreciated I find them much more satisfying than the later recordings.
