Deep Purple - Who Do We Think We Are (1973)

Terus terang aku hanya mengetahui album2 Deep Purple cuma 'Perfect Strangers' 'Burn' dan 'Fireball'.album 'Who Do We Think We Are' ini di riliskan pada tahun 1973 (aku pun belum lahir lagi) tapi dengan line up klasik Mark II sama macam dalam album 'Perfect Strangers' (Ritchie Blackmore,Roger Glover,Ian Gillan,Jon Lord dan Ian Paice)dan ternyata album ini pun boleh tahan best juga..

Cd yang pada aku ini adalah versi remastered dan telah di reissue semula pada tahun 2000 dengan tambahan beberapa lagu yang takda dalam album versi asal.yang menarik ialah lagu instrumental 'first day jam' yang berdurasi selama 11 minit 31 saat.apa yang best tentang lagu jamming diorang ni ialah,Ritchie Blackmore bermain bass dalam sessi jamming ini di sebabkan Roger Glover tak datang pasal terperangkap dalam trafik jem.

isi dalam dia best.macam2 cerita ada

Who Do We Think We Are was recorded in Rome in July 1972 and Frankfurt in October 1972, using the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio.

"Woman from Tokyo", the first track recorded in July 1972, is about touring Japan for the first time (e.g. the lyric "Fly into the Rising Sun"). The only other track released from the Rome sessions is the out-take "Painted Horse". The rest of the album was recorded in Frankfurt after more touring (including Japan).

Ian Gillan left the band following this album, citing internal tensions widely thought to include a feud with Blackmore. However, in an interview supporting the release of the 1984 Mark II Deep Purple comeback album Perfect Strangers, Gillan stated that fatigue and management conflicts also had a lot to do with it.

We had just come off 18 months of touring, and we'd all had major illnesses at one time or another. Looking back, if they'd have been decent managers, they would have said, 'All right, stop. I want you to all go on three months' holiday. I don't even want you to pick up an instrument.' But instead they pushed us to complete the album on time. We should have stopped. I think if we did, Deep Purple would have still been around to this day.

The last Mark II concert in the 1970s before Ian Gillan and Roger Glover left was in Osaka, Japan on 29 June 1973.
