For many, a bit too heavy and loud to be their favorite but its presence and tenacity through the decades has proven its timelessness. It really does rock hard!!Interesting seeing the Warner Reprise version of DPs In Rock I've never seen the US release before. In the UK it was released on EMI. A ground breaking record in it's time 1970 and still rated highly by some 1970s heavy rock and metal guys.
Ritchie Blackmore said at the time "If a song wasn't exciting enough then it wasn't going on the album."
