DEEP PURPLE – Fireball

This is the LP that came betweeen 1970’s In Rock, a mostly power chord metalfest and 1972’s Machine Head, which was the Mark 2 line up’s golden hour. Fireball, released in 1971 shows a band finding it’s direction but not afraid to experiemnt with different musical genres, as shown on Anyone’s Daughter with Jon Lord’s ragtime piano and The Mule’s psychedelic freakouts.
