я ж говорю - "калька", Блекмор сказал "клон" :
"BLACKMORE:
... Back in the late Sixties, there were few organists who could play like Jon.
We shared the same taste in music. We loved Vanilla Fudge - they were our
heroes. They used to play London's Speakeasy and all the hippies used to go
there to hang out - Clapton, The Beatles - everybody went there to pose.
According to legend, the talk of the town during that period was Jimi Hendrix, but
that's not true. It was Vanilla Fudge. They played eight-minute songs, with
dynamics. People said, "What the hell's going on here? How come it's not three
minutes?" Timmy Bogert, their bassist, was amazing. The whole group was ahear
of its time. So, initially we wanted to be a Vanilla Fudge clone. But our singer,
Ian, wanted to be Edgar Winter. He'd say, "I want to scream like that, like Edgar
Winter." So that's what we were - Vanilla Fudge with Edgar Winter! "

так "из какого эшелона" считать группу Vanillа Fudge ?
и так со многими...
кому-то повезло, кому-то не очень,
и не обязательно дело в самой музыке

многие пёрплисты и юрайхиписты вышесказанному не верят и похожих черт не видят

а для очевидности достаточно прослушать-просмотреть, как Vanilla Fudge "сегодня" играют те свои песни 60х но в современном, привычном для DP и UH хардовом саунде:
