Deep Purple
Released 1971Rock
ClassicPicked by a lifelong record collector

A heavy, energetic early-classic-era peak. Powerful and beloved. A high point. Released in 1971, it's a key entry in Deep Purple's run.

On vinyl: Vintage copies and modern reissues both circulate — worth comparing condition and remaster notes before you buy.
