I BOUGHT THIS ALBUM FIRST TIME AROUND IT WAS GREAT THEN AND STILL IS DAVID COVERDALE PLUCKED FROM SALTBURN ON SEA GREAT VOICE,ISTILL HAVE THE ORIGINAL ALBUM IN MY LOFT BUT AS IS THE RECORD INDUSTIES DECREE, AND AS I HAVE DONE PRACTICALY BOUGHT MY WHOLE RECORD COLLECTION IN DUPLICATE.THIS IS WHERE EBAY HELPS AS I USUALLY PICK THEM UP AT HALVE THE PRICE.
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.
