According to the Darker Than Blue web site , EMI will celebrate the U.K.'s "Record Store Day" in April by releasing a retro Deep Purple single containing "Hush" -- recorded for Chris Grant's "Tasty Pop Sundae" in early 1969 -- and "Speed King," recorded for Stuart Henry's "Noise At Nine" in October that same year. Both are from the upcoming "BBC Sessions" project. The picture sleeve is based on the original Harvest art and will be unveiled next week. The single will only be distributed to the participating indie shops in the U.K. and the pressing run is low at around 1400 copies.

"Record Store Day" celebrates the continued existence of independent record stores, mostly through live in-store appearances, performances and special limited-edition releases that will only be sold through participating stores on the day itself, which is April 16 this year.
