Deep Purple in Rock is a hard rock album by English rock band Deep Purple, released in 1970. It was their fourth studio album, and the first with the classic Mk II lineup (though "Concert for Group and Orchestra", a live album released in December 1969, did feature this lineup). It would peak at #4 in the UK, remaining in the charts for many months.
Their earlier work was much differently oriented, with orchestra-driven tracks and covers that ranged from The Beatles to Neil Diamond, among others, but on this record there are no compromises. All tracks are credited to the working efforts of the five members of the band. "Speed King" and "Flight of the Rat" are prime examples of hard rock songs, and the band's new style. "Child in Time" is perhaps the most famous song from this record. This song starts off as a ballad but then becomes a rocker with several solo improvisations and is famous for the high notes Ian Gillan hits in the song. Although "Into the Fire" and "Speed King" featured in the set lists at the time, "Child in Time" was the only song from this album that was included on Made in Japan two years later.
The cover depicts the band in a rock sculpture clearly modelled on Mount Rushmore.In some countries (such as Mexico) Deep Purple in Rock also included "Black Night", a single recorded during the sessions."Bloodsucker" was re-recorded in 1998 for the Abandon album as "Bludsucker" and was reprised live on the world tour. In 2000 Q magazine placed Deep Purple in Rock at number 78 in its list of the 100 Greatest British Albums Ever. In 2000, The Minus 5 released an album also titled In Rock. On the spine of the digipak case is a small picture of Mount Rushmore. This is Ritchie Blackmore's favourite LP along with Machine Head.
Jon Lord used both the Leslie speaker, and a Marshall amplifier with his Hammond organ, therefore the organ sound varies a lot throughout the songs.(example - Living Wreck - Leslie speaker, Hard Lovin` Man - Marshall Amplifier). Ritchie Blackmore used a Gibson guitar in Child in Time, not the Fender Stratocaster.Recorded 1969-1970 at IBC, De Lane Lea & Abbey Road Studios.
