About the album

The Book of Taliesyn is the second studio album by the English rock band Deep Purple, recorded only three months after Shades of Deep Purple and released by Tetragrammaton Records in December 1968, during their first US tour. The name for the album was taken from the 14th-century Book of Taliesin.
