PURPLE IMAGE's eponymous and only album merged a strong blend of soul-funk and psych rock to considerable effect. Released in 1970 on the obscure Map City label, Cleveland-based Purple Image sadly managed only this lone effort. Its clever use of fuzz and wah-wah guitar demonstrates a clear Hendrix influence, as does the second side's final track, 'Marching To A Different Drummer', 15-minutes of far out guitar-jammin' extravaganza. The overall sound is tight and driving, making for a truly excellent album with some outstanding cover art. Suitable for fans of Hendrix, Funkadelic, Sly & The Family Stone, Demon Fuzz, Scorpion, etc..."
