Its a crime

Simply put its a crime if you do not own this album. It is a masterpiece of heavy metal. Blackmore and Lord shine as they bring the thunder along with searing and powerful vocals from Ian Gillan.

This was the start for DP’s famous Made in Japan. The songs are great and solid development.
Gr8 one of DP’s early albums.

Besides missing the song, when a blind man cries, this album is superior in every way.
Deep Purple's best album.

Deep Purple at their best. No weak songs. Jon Lord really shines on this, especially on Highway Star and Lazy. Every band member shines on this. I think Blackmore's solo on Smoke On The Water is his best. Pictures of Home is another album highlight. I like all of the photos of the band. Blackmore really looks miserable, doesn't he? I also think it's the coolest he has ever looked. That stubble look was a good one for him. Back to the music, five of these seven songs are in my top ten for favorite Deep Purple songs. This album is a must have.

Classic rock at it’s best. You are missing out if this is not in your collection.Listen to the entire album. If you only listen to the hits you are missing out. Listen and enjoy talent at it’s best.

Richie Blackmore and his Stratocaster almost seems out if place in this group . The musicians like Jon Lord ,Roger Glover are as good as it get in a hard rock band that sometimes consider heavy metal leaders . So great musicianship with lame material like Highway star and the boring riff in smoke on the water coupled with Lame singing .
