Mark I & II (1973)
Purple Passages is a 1972 double-LP compilation album by Deep Purple released in North America, Venezuela and Japan only, featuring material originally released in 1968 and 1969 on the Tetragrammaton label. It features classics such as "Hush" and "Kentucky Woman". It was issued in Japan on compact disc in 1993.
This compilation included some alternate mixes of "The Bird Has Flown" and "Why Didn't Rosemary?", with the former having a clean intro instead of a fade-in on the album version. It also included the final Purple Mk. I single "Emmaretta" for the first time on LP. Original lead singer Rod Evans went on to front the popular 1970s band Captain Beyond.
