Although it shook the band's fan base to its core, the acrimonious departure of vocalist Ian Gillan and bassist Roger Glover served to rejuvenate Deep Purple in time for 1973's aptly named Burn album. And in an interesting twist rarely attempted before or since, new recruits David Coverdale (vocals) and Glenn Hughes (bass and vocals, ex-Trapeze) traded lead singing duties on virtually every track -- an enviable tag team, as both possessed exceptional abilities.
The phenomenal title track started things off at full throttle, actually challenging the seminal "Highway Star" for the title of best opener to any Deep Purple album, while showcasing the phenomenal drumming of Ian Paice. Up next, the intro to the equally timeless "Might Just Take Your Life," however simple from a technical perspective, remains one of organist Jon Lord's signature moments, and the downright nasty "Lay Down, Stay Down" roared behind wildly careening starts and stops and a fantastic Ritchie Blackmore guitar solo that left no doubt as to who was the band's primal force, regardless of lineup. Moving right along, and though it was rarely included in latter-day greatest-hits sets, "What's Going on Here" was about as good a single as Purple ever wrote; "You Fool No One" was compelling for its sheer intensity; and the funky "Sail Away" was a sign of the band's future direction in years to come. Lastly, the fantastic slow-boiling blues of "Mistreated" closed the album proper, one of the finest tracks Purple ever recorded with a command solo performance from Coverdale that was as sensitive as it was devastating. So impassioned was the singer's delivery, in fact, that the song would remain his personal in-concert trademark with Whitesnake long after his tenure with Deep Purple came to a close.
Like the vast majority of Burn, this song's greatness qualifies it for the highest echelons of hard rock achievement, and therefore the album is an essential item in the discography of any self-respecting music fan.

Clean, unmarked labels - just a few light spindle trace per side - spindle hole still tight
VINYL Visual: NEAR MINT
Both surfaces of this heavyweight pressing shine like-new - a practically untouched copy
VINYL Audio: NEAR MINT
Once played, my own careful play-check at loud volume found little to fault - just one or two tiny ticks noted which will no doubt disappear after a few spins (nothing really) - plays like-new throughout
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT+
The shrink-wrap is mostly intact and it's done it's job in protecting the sleeve which is in great condition
