Amazon.co.uk Review
The 30th anniversary reissue of 1974 album is newly remastered and includes five bonus tracks, "Coronarias Redig" (single b-side 2004 remix), "Burn" (2004 remix), "Mistreated" (2004 remix), "You Fool No One" (2004 remix) and "Sail Away" (2004 remix). The departure of vocalist Ian Gillan and bassist Roger Glover seemed to rejuvenate Deep Purple, and 1974's Burn was a huge improvement over their previous effort, the lacklustre Who Do We Think We Are. In an interesting twist, new recruits David Coverdale and ex-Trapeze bassist Glenn Hughes share lead vocals on virtually every track--an enviable tag team, as both possessed exceptional pipes. The title track starts things off at full speed thanks to the phenomenal drumming of Ian Paice, and the intro to "Might Just Take Your Life" is one of organist Jon Lord's finest moments. Full of starts and stops, "Lay Down, Stay Down" features a fantastic solo "What's Going On Here" is about as good a single as Purple ever wrote; "You Fool No One" is compelling in its intensity; and the funky "Sail Away" is a sign of the band's future direction. "Mistreated," a fantastic slow blues, closes the album proper (let's ignore the boring instrumental "A 200," the record's only throwaway) and showcases Coverdale on his own for the first time. So impassioned is the singer's performance that the song would remain his concert trademark long into his post-Purple career with Whitesnake. --Ed Rivadavia, All Music Guide

Disco inferno? - more like Hell's inferno, with Blackmore playin the part of Lucifer!! Purple are one of the most underrated bands of all time, anyone with half a brain knows theres a lot more to these guys than Smoke on the Water. This album shows it and its not even considered to be one of their best! I always thought the sound on the original CD release in 1989 was OK at best, but this edition cleans up the whole sound and sticks the volume up another couple of notches - the remixes push it even further!! This album was meant to be played loud and it sounds fantastic on any stereo due to the quality of the mix. The drums are so powerful Ian Paice sounds as if he's on steroids - check out the remix of You Fool No One. The booklet (as per usual with the Purple remasters) is excellent giving a thorough history of the album. If only the Beatles/Stones/Zeppelin etc would take note at how to remaster their albums properly, with decent booklets, remixes, b-sides etc. Purple have always been uncool in the press cos they never had superstar syndrome, so dont listen to the NME/Q/Uncut reviews - they're all journalism students anyway. This album is HIGHLY recommended to anyone who is remotely interested in loud rock n roll.

WOW! This is truly the best album I have ever heard! I have listened to the original recording of 'Burn' all my life so I was delighted to hear my favourite songs polished up for this remastered CD. The title track has never sounded so good, it really shows off Ritchie's and Jon's solos to the max. 'Sail Away' is the highlight of the album, the sexy guitar riff never fails to draw all of your attention, it'll have you humming the song for days. David Coverdale's vocals are particularly excellent on this track, really heart-felt. And of course the legendary 'Mistreated'. What more can I say than Complete Blues Heaven.
The only reservations I had about this album were the remixes as quite often they disappiont , but I was blown away by the sheer power of them, especially the 'Sail Away' and 'Mistreated' remixes. I recommend this to any rock loving person. Truly the best rock album by Purple!

Remarkable, this is one of the strongest remixes of the last decade or even since the origin of the CD.
Every vocal or instrument is in perfect balance with each other and is audible in all its clearness.
One can realy overhear it in all its dimensions.
For instance: snare drum and tambourine are matching very well into each other and are at the same time, quite recognizable.
'Burn' deserves to be a hit again. It has a very powerful mix, especially the vocal part and the instrumental solo's, .
'Coronarias Reding' is a jewel wich has a timeless dignity of a melancholic instrumental Purple evergreen and justify its presence on this anniversary edition.
If promoted the proper way, this album could hit the charts again.
A low budget quality CD together with a comprehensive booklet !

Not the best album of Deep Purple,because Ian Gillian wasn't lead singer anymore, but it sounds good. It reminds me my youth, when rock was really rock.
