"Fireball" is an album by English rock band Deep Purple,
released in 1971. It was their fifth studio album, and the second with the
classic Mk II lineup. It was recorded at various times between September 1970
and June 1971. It would become the first of the band's three UK #1 albums,
though it didn't stay on the charts as long as its predecessor, "In Rock".
The original UK version had "Demon's Eye" as its
third track, but did not include "Strange Kind of Woman," which was
instead released as a single there. It was vice-versa on the American and
Japanese releases. The boogie-inspired "Strange Kind of Woman" single
reached #8 in the UK.
"Fireball" este al cincilea album de studio lansat de Deep
Purple in 1971. Este al doilea in formula Mk II. A fost inregistrat intre
septembrie 1970 si iunie 1971. Ar fi devenit albumul nr. 1 al trupei, din cele
trei care au stat pe locul 1 in topuri, dar nu a rezistat pe locul intai la fel
de mult ca predecesorul "In Rock".
Versiunea originala din Marea Britanie avea “Demon’s Eye”
ca a treia melodie, dar nu includea “Strange Kind of Woman”, care a fost lansat
ca single acolo. A fost invers pe lansarile din SUA si Japonia. Single-ul "Strange
Kind of Woman", de inspiratie boogie, a atins locul 8 in topurile din Marea
Britanie.
