Purple Records was set up in 1971, not just to release Deep Purple’s records from “Machine Head” onwards, but also the various side projects that the band members were developing, and artists that they were discovering and respected.
Purple Records tenth release was from a new band called SILVERHEAD, which featured Blondie bassist Nigel Harrison, future Robert Plant guitarist Robbie Blunt, and fronted by the legendary Michael Des Barres. Their much feted self-titled debut was released by Purple in 1972.
Produced by Martin Birch, famed for him work with Iron Maiden, Whitesnake, Fleetwood Mac, Black Sabbath, Rainbow, and of course, Deep Purple, Silverhead’s debut is a mixture of hard rock and glam.
