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, founded by former Kama Sutra artists and song writer, the ex-Tradewinds Pete Anders and Vincent Poncia, Cleveland-based Purple Image sadly managed only this lone effort. It's clever use of fuzz and wah­wah guitar demonstrates a clear Hendrix influence, as does the second side's final track, Marching To A Different Drummer, a 15-minute guitar jam extravaganza. The overall sound is tight and driving, making for a truly excellent album which also features some really nice cover art.Track Listing: 1. Living In The Ghetto 2. Why 3. Lady 4. We Got To Pull Together 5. What You Do To Me 6. Marching To A Different Drummer
