...not forgetting the heavy psych feel of their earliest outings.
Purple's earliest albums are very similar in style to Spooky Tooth's - ST were called Art in 1967, and surely influenced Purple's first album, "Shades of Deep Purple" and earliest style (as Purple formed in 1968). Check out Purple's interpretation of Joe South's "Hush", and compare with the style of Spooky Tooth's "Too Much of Nothing" (1968) and Art's "Think I'm Going Wierd" (1967).
Much early hard rock had a funky swing to it - it was a pervasive style in the late 1960s-early 1970s, with that distinctive "10 pence, 10 pence, 50 pence, £1" drum beat, which resurfaced with a vengeance in the early 1990s and hasn't gone away - except most notably in metal and fringe music.
