Artist & Title: Deep Purple – Who Do We Think We Are !
Who Do We Think We Are: Mint 1973 UK first pressing 7 track vinyl LP, featuring the classic Woman From Tokyo. The label has 'Gramophone Co.' perimeter text, 'Purple Peckie' and 'Porky' scratched into the dead wax by the mastering engineer and A-1U/B-1U stamped matrices. Gatefold laminated picture sleeve with pristine lyric insert. The sleeve is fabulous near as new condition whilst the vinyl on this copy is graded Mint - a truly excellent copy of this increasingly rare LP! Both the sleeve and disc are in beautiful condition.
The disc has First Pressing matrix numbers in the run-out grooves and is in MINT condition. Hard enough to find in good condition, this copy is in MINT CONDITION and the picture sleeve is also in MINT CONDITION.

This rare MINT FIRST PRESSING LP is hardly ever offered for sale in this condition.
This is the very rare real thing: a GENUINE first UK issue in MINT CONDITION. The sleeve is also in MINT CONDITION, with no creases, scratches, tears, writing, stickers, dog-ears or other obvious damage. See pics. All items are the genuine originals bought together by me in 1973. The LP is the original first issue stereo LP, which was only played on top-end audiophile equipment and lovingly cared for.
THIS HAS TO BE ONE OF THE BEST EXAMPLES OF THIS ALBUM FROM THE BAND’S CREATIVE PEAK EVER OFFERED FOR SALE IN RECENT TIMES
Who Do We Think We Are is the seventh studio album by Deep Purple, released in 1973. It was Deep Purple's last album with the Mark II line-up of the group until Perfect Strangers in 1984.
Ian Gillan left the band following this album, citing internal tensions widely thought to include a feud with Blackmore. However, in an interview supporting the release of the 1984 Mark II Deep Purple comeback album Perfect Strangers, Gillan stated fatigue and management also had a lot to do with it.
This may be your only ONCE IN A LIFETIME chance to own this piece of rock history in MINT condition, which is considered one of the landmark albums in the history of rock.
AND IT MUST SELL IN THIS ONCE ONLY AUCTION

I pack my records professionally in stiff corrugated cruciform record mailers leaving the Vinyl (housed in anti-static bags) outside the Sleeve.
