Deep Purple - Fireball

Deep Purple are an English rock band formed in London in 1968. They are considered to be among the pioneers of heavy metal and modern hard rock, but their musical approach has changed over the years.

Originally formed as a psychedelic rock and progressive rock band, they shifted to a heavier sound with their 1970 album Deep Purple in Rock.

The creatively progressive Fireball, was issued in the summer of 1971, reaching number 1 on the UK Albums Chart.

The title track "Fireball" was released as a single, as was "Strange Kind of Woman", not from the album but recorded during the same sessions (although it replaced "Demon's Eye" on the US version of the album).

"Strange Kind of Woman" became their second UK Top 10 single, reaching No. 8.
