Purple Image, USA

Purple Image - s/t. 1970 Map City

*** Reissued on LP in 2019 (Tidal Waves) ***

Purple Image's sole work is nominally a hard rock album with touches of Motown soul pop, which primarily surface via the harmony vocals, especially on 'We Got to Pull Together'. Some good psychedelic guitar and studio phasing are evenly spread throughout the LP. From the ghettos of Cleveland. In comparison to similar bands from that background, Purple Image are not as intense as Philadelphia's Del Jones' Positive Vibes nor Maggot Brain era Funkadelic (Detroit). All the same, a worthy listen.
