Upon signing with 4AD, eight tracks from the Purple Tape were selected for the Come On Pilgrim EP, the band's first release.

Hendrix borrowed a Fender Telecaster from Noel Redding to record " Hey Joe " and " Purple Haze ", used a white Gibson SG Custom for his performances on The Dick Cavett Show in the summer of 1969, and the Isle of Wight film shows him playing his second Gibson Flying V. While Jimi had previously owned a Flying V that he had painted with a psychedelic design, the Flying V used at the Isle of Wight was a unique custom left-handed guitar with gold plated hardware, a bound fingerboard and " split-diamond " fret markers that were not found on other 1960s-era Flying Vs.

Dylan's lead was also followed by The Byrds, joined by Gram Parsons to record Sweetheart of the Rodeo ( 1968 ), helping to define the genre of country rock, which became a particularly popular style in the California music scene of the late 1960s, and was adopted by former folk rock artists including Hearts and Flowers, Poco and New Riders of the Purple Sage.

In the past, Purple was considered the color of royalty ( like white ), but today it is sometimes used for feminist parties.

The original Purple Heart, designated as the Badge of Military Merit, was established by George Washington — then the commander-in-chief of the Continental Army – by order from his Newburgh, New York headquarters on August 7, 1782.

Elizabeth Will, an Army heraldic specialist in the Office of the Quartermaster General, was named to redesign the newly revived medal, which became known as the Purple Heart.

By Executive Order of the President of the United States, the Purple Heart was revived on the 200th Anniversary of George Washington's birth, out of respect to his memory and military achievements, by War Department General Orders No. 3, dated February 22, 1932.

The first Purple Heart was awarded to MacArthur.

During the early period of American involvement in World War II ( December 7, 1941 – September 22, 1943 ), the Purple Heart was awarded both for wounds received in action against the enemy and for meritorious performance of duty.

With the establishment of the Legion of Merit, by an Act of Congress, the practice of awarding the Purple Heart for meritorious service was discontinued.

Public Law 104-106 expanded the eligibility date, authorizing award of the Purple Heart to a former prisoner of war who was wounded before April 25, 1962.

About 100 men and women received the award, the most famous being newspaperman Ernie Pyle, who was awarded a posthumous Army Purple Heart after being killed by Japanese machine gun fire in 1945.

Current active duty personnel are awarded the Purple Heart upon recommendation from their chain of command, stating the injury that was received and the action in which the service member was wounded.

During the Vietnam War, Korean War, and World War II, the Purple Heart was often awarded on the spot, with occasional entries made into service records, but this was often not the case.

In addition, during the mass demobilizations that followed each of America's major wars of the 20th century, it was a common occurrence for the Purple Heart to be omitted from service records, due to clerical errors, once the service record was closed upon discharge.

Simple clerical errors, where a Purple Heart is denoted in military records but was simply omitted from a DD Form 214 ( Report of Separation ), are corrected on site at the National Personnel Records Center through issuance of a document known as a DD-215.
