Someone actually said that McCartney was a shit song writer? You mean the guy who wrote more number 1 songs than anyone in history, the guy who wrote Yesterday, Michelle, Eleanor Rigby, Hey Jude, and Let It Be, just to mention a few? I can't stop laughing.
1. this song is off of The Book of Taliesyn not Shades of Deep Purple
2. The first part is called Exposition and itquotes Beethoven/Symphony no.7, mvt.2 and Tchaikovsky/Romeo & Juliet Overture "Prelude: Happiness"
3. It is a terrible cover - sorry Deep Purple
Oh and extra note it sounds like they are going to break into "Back in the USSR" which had been released earlier that year instead of We Can Work it Out.
the bass part behind the vocals sounds like jp jones of zep. is that him? or did he cop these riffs for "what is and never should be?" they shouldve left the fancy prog rock(intro) to ELP though. the organist doesnt cut it.
Mark 1 was so fine line up, they had a courage to try all kinds of stuff and the singer has a great voice, he does not try too much if you know what I mean and that sounds good. Also Lord`s and Blackmore`s playing together on these "spanish" parts are wonderful to hear.
I love Deep Purple's early style, and their interpretations of Beatles songs. Honestly, I kind of like this version and DP's Help! better than the Beatles' originals.
@poussyledzep McCartney was a shit song writer _ even lennon hinted at that in a Playboy interview shortly before his death. most people who have covered his songs have done a better version than him. NOW THE BEATLES POLICE WILL COME TO LYNCH ME

Thanks for posting, nice cover. I believe this was on the Book of Taliesyn album rather than Shades of Deep Purple though.
