Deep Purple - Deep Purple in Rock (Full album 1970)

“Deep Purple in Rock” is the fourth studio album by English rock band Deep Purple, released in June 1970. It was the first studio album recorded by the Mark II line-up of Ian Gillan, Ritchie Blackmore, Roger Glover, Jon Lord and Ian Paice.
The album was the band's breakthrough album in Europe and peaked at No. 4 in the UK, remaining in the charts for months. (The band's prior MK I albums had been much better received in the United States and Canada than in their homeland.) An accompanying single, "Black Night" reached No. 2. The album was supported by the successful In Rock World Tour, which lasted 15 months. The album has continued to attract critical praise as a key example of the hard rock genre.

“Deep Purple in Rock” este al patrulea album al trupei engleze de rock Deep Purple, lansat în Iunie 1970. A fost primul cu cea de-a doua componență a formației și totodată cea clasică. “Deep Purple in Rock” a fost albumul cu care grupul a reușit să prindă la public și în Europa, atingând locul 4 în Marea Britanie și rămânând în topuri pentru mai multe luni. ( Albumele formulei anterioare MK I au fost mai bine primate in Statele Unite si Canada, decat in proprialor tara.) Un single insotitor, “Black Night”, a atins locul 2.  LP-ul a fost promovat cu succes de turneul In Rock World Tour, ce a durat 15 luni. Albumul continua sa adune laude ale criticii ca un exemplu de model al genului hard rock.
