Vintage woven Deep Purple patch with a mythical and mystical piece of artwork for Blackmore's first send off - the under-appreciated Stormbringer. This is the sultry red border version that has been on my radar for quite a while. Honestly, there aren't that many great Purple patches, so this one is an essential in my eyes. A black border variant exists, and that one is carried solely by the excellent design, which is strong enough to make it a favourite sans red addition. The album is funkier (hello, Glenn Hughes) but also loaded with heaters like Stormbringer and Lady Double Dealer; expressive mid-paced feel with Gypsy and Highball Shooter; and of course the beautiful Soldier of Fortune. A big thank you to Koolg71 for the superb trade!
