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.

LABELS: EXCELLENT
The labels have a few foxing spots (on Side two) but are otherwise clean with quite a few spindle traces on Side Two but only a handful on Side One
VINYL Visual: EXCELLENT
The surfaces have some superficial light marks but still retain their original deep glossy sheen - these marks have no real audio consequence
VINYL Audio: EXCELLENT+ / NEAR MINT
Outstanding audio quality and sound performance throughout - beautifully recorded with an incredibly strong and vibrant sound.
My play-check at loud volume detected no major audio issues of note - no scratches and only a touch of surface between one or two of the tracks and some soft background static ticks on "Sail Away" (nothing major) - sounds superb
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT
This cover is incredibly prone to wear, being so thin, untreated and flimsy but this one has held up remarkably well.
The edges are sharp (all spine text is clear and bold) and there is none of the common ring wear, just some light creases at the opening edge - very fine example
INNER SLEEVE: EXCELLENT
Clean with just some light creasing otherwise, fine condition with no seam splits
ALL RECORDS ARE PACKAGED WITH THE VINYL OUTSIDE OF THE SLEEVE TO PREVENT ANY 'KNIFING' DURING TRANSIT
A PROTECTIVE POLY SLEEVE, NEW INNER SLEEVE WITH ANTI-STATIC LINER, QUALITY BOX (NOT ENVELOPE) MAILER AND AMPLE STIFFENERS ARE ALWAYS USED TO ENSURE THAT YOUR RECORD ARRIVES SAFELY
