The Purple Things "Deep In The MInd Of…" 1985 + "Out Of The Deep" 1986

Following "Deep In The Mind Of" the Purple Things released "Out Of The Deep" in 1986. Both formed a kind of diptych.The Purple Things rose from the ashes of the Vibes (one of the most exciting and creative band of the early 80's Garage/Psycho scene in England). Basically if you like the Vibes you'll like the Purple Things. The main difference between the two bands being the use of an E-Bass instead of the Double-Bass, the sound leaning more toward Garage/Punk. Their first mini-Lp "Deep In The Mind Of" was issued in 1985 on Media Burn and is a gem of weird Trash-a-Billy under Psychedelic influences (their cover of Red Krayola's "Hurricane Fighter Plane" confirms that). The LP kicks off with an amazing version of Tamrons' "Wild Man"... but enough said... let's dig it!!! - Jeronyme.
