I can not even begin to describe how GREAT this group is! You haven't even scratched surface of their catalog of hits. Almost everybody on earth knows the Smoke on the Water riff. "My Woman from Tokyo" is amazing, but in my opinion "Child in Time" is their greatest achievement! It will blow your mind. The live version in front of a BBC music show audience is the one to watch.

[@jameskneubuhl9115]

This album introduced two new members of Deep Purple - David Coverdale on lead vocals, and Glenn Hughes on bass and co-lead vocals - they're both singing on the song "Burn". Coverdale later went on to form Whitesnake, and Hughes has had a long career which continues to this day. I read something very interesting about "Burn"'s guitar riff. Purple guitarist Ritchie Blackmore mentioned in an interview that he came up with the riff while trying to play a George Gershwin song from the 1920s called "Fascinting Rhythm", and sure enough, that single musical phrase is identical to both songs, but that's definitely all they have in common. You have to give Ritchie credit for being honest.

[@simply_psi]

I actually prefer Glenn's vocals to David Coverdale's to be honest.

[@jonathanlocke6404]

Recommend Hughes work with the band Trapeze...A reaction to "You Are the Music, We're Just the Band" would be fun...

[@Willie_McBride]

Agree… Hughes & Coverdale alternating lead singing duties, & harmonies and Blackmores savage guitar… Blackmore has always been such a polarizing figure in the annals of Rock. His musical genius & guitar playing were groundbreaking . But his fickle behavior and the way he summarily excommunicated band members destroyed what he helped to create. But it also gave him the opportunity to rebuild & rebrand every project he was ever involved with. From Dio to Graham Bonnet to Joe Lynn turner as lead vocalists in Rainbow. And from Ian Gilliam to Coverdale in Deep Purple… and then back to Gilliam (I think). And a seemingly revolving door of drummers & other musicians that he just couldn’t get along with or guys that grew tired of his petulant child act. It was frustrating for us fans… but it was never boring!

As a keyboard player, this is one of my top five favorite Deep Purple songs. In no particular order: Hush, Lazy, Child in Time, Highway Star, and Burn - Jon Lord ruled the Hammond Organ!

[@sheila1965troubles]

Hush - great classic and their first big hit. Reminds me of when I left my second husband - I call it my "freedom" song, lol, because I danced my ass off at a local bar to this song and my soon-to-be ex hated it when I rocked out on the dance floor - thought I was being too sexual, lol.

New line up for this album with the addition of David Coverdale on vocals and Glenn Hughes on guitar and back-up vocals. You should check out the song "Mistreated" especially the live video from the California Jam back in the 70's. Coverdale kills this song with his gravely blues voice!!

[@johngolden5257]

1975, Saturday morning drum lessons. My drum teacher , the late great Brad Baker was an Ian Paice clone, same drums, hair, glasses, body type. Brad introduced me to this album.

Great reaction guys! To cut a long story short, Ian Gillan (Voc) and Roger Glover (Bass) were out and David Coverdale (Voc) and Glenn Hughes (Bass/Voc) were in. 'Burn' was the first album released by the short lived Mark III lineup. The Stormbringer album would follow in 1975 before Ritchie Blackmore left to form Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow, featuring Ronnie James Dio on vocals. "Mistreated" is a great song that David Coverdale (Whitesnake) and Rainbow performed in their respective sets for years. The title track of the Stormbringer album, 'Stormbringer' is great too.

[@rosiemason-rk4cm]

Actually you're wrong - "Burn" & "Stormbringer" were both released in 1974; "Come Taste The Band" was released in 1975.
