Album Notes Deep Purple: David Coverdale (vocals); Ritchie Blackmore (guitar); Jon Lord (keyboards); Glenn Hughes (bass, background vocals); Ian Paice (drums).Recorded with the Rolling Stones mobile unit in Montreux, Switzerland in November 1973.The first Deep Purple album to feature Glenn Hughes and David Coverdale, resulted in a much more bluesy effort all round. Coverdale's throaty roar, combined with Hughes' soaring vocal, made for a heartfelt, rootsy record. 'Might Just Take Your Life' was a hit single, and the album featured a series of extended jams, which worked most spectacularly with the elongated 'Mistreated', later resurrected by Coverdale as a live favourite with Whitesnake. The title track and 'Lay Down, Stay Down' gave vent to their more familiar refrains and emphasized the strength of their songwriting. Editorial Reviews Mojo | |||||||||||||

Report this review Absolutely essential classic album by the 'Mark III' incarnation of Deep Purple, featuring David Coverdale on vocals and Glenn Hughes on bass and vocals also. Lots of thrilling hard rock with amzing guitar work from Ritchie Blackmore and fabulous bluesy/soulful singing from Coverdale and Hughes. Every track is excellent, this has to be one of the finest albums ever made in this genre, and just as essential as 'Machine Head' and 'In Rock'. This original CD version is much closer to the sound of the vinyl than the recent remix/remasters. Review ID: 10000000003687403 Was this review helpful? Report this review |
