Deep Purple. House Of Blue Light, USSR

All other vinyl editions substantially same as Great Britain except ITALY (Polydor 831 318 : Jan 1987) which had CD length edits of Spanish Archer and Black & White. Strangeways was longer than on the normal LP but not the full CD version. I assume they were given the wrong master tapes (same happened in Argentina).

RUSSIA (Melody C60 27357 004 : 1988) had title in Russian across front & back (see photo). Slight sleeve variations exist, depending in which town the LP was manufactured. In SOUTH KOREA (POL SEL RHG 003 LP), Hard Loving Woman was left off.
