Lyrically it very clever and they even played the song on the Battle Rages On Tour decades later. Looking at it now through the lens of time, I can see how ‘Anyone’s Daughter’ fitted in with the more experimental side of the band. Even the B Side ‘I’m Alone’ might have been a better choice. Why was this track even here when ‘Strange Kind of Woman’ could have been in its place? The single was already hard to find, so this seemed a bit of an error from my new musical heroes. The next track is the country-tinged ‘Anyone’s Daughter’ which to my young ears seemed almost a change too far. The song rocks around a shuffle (like a slower ‘Black Night’) with some great playing from Jon Lord and Ritchie Blackmore. It always amazes me that in the USA some people may not have heard ‘Demon’s Eye’ until the CD re-issue arrived. However, when the slide solo guitar arrived with that bass riff and then moved into that almost funky section, I was hooked! It might not be an overly complicated song, but to me, this was more PROG than the Deep Purple I have heard up to this point.ĭemons Eye was next unless you were in the USA where the 2nd single ‘Strange Kind of Woman’ was used instead. The second track ‘No No No‘ started with no real introduction and was quite laid back. Once we got the other side of the opening track ‘Fireball’, it was apparent this was a very different album indeed. We knew the album had got to number 1 in the album charts so were expecting a cross between In Rock and Machine Head.

So money being scarce I borrowed a copy from the school music library and took it back to my friend ‘Paul Mansell’s house so we could hear it together and he could tape it on his Dad’s Reel To Reel tape player.

I knew the single ‘Fireball’ because the Radio 1 DJ ‘Stuart Henry’ had played it on his show a few times. I was 14 and realised that there was still one album I had not heard ‘Fireball’. The next album I heard was ‘Made In Japan’ and then ‘Who Do We Think We Are’ in early 1973. I had gone to buy what would have been my first ever album and finding the shop had sold out came home with ‘Deep Purple In Rock’ instead. Only to be bought to sustain a need until a better example is found.My introduction to Deep Purple came via a friend lending me Machine Head on cassette in 1972. A record that has seen better days!
