Product Description

CD Description

After establishing itself as a hard-rock giant, thanks to endless touring and the release of such milestone records as MACHINE HEAD and IN ROCK, Deep Purple was in a state of turmoil when it went into the studio to record 1972's WHO DO WE THINK WE ARE. Despite all the infighting, the band pulled together long enough to record seven tracks that only bolstered the band's reputation. The best-known song, "Woman From Tokyo," boasted a riff as memorable as the one that defined "Smoke on the Water" and was later admitted by Ritchie Blackmore to have been cribbed from Eric Clapton's "Cat Squirrel." Although Blackmore's always-impressive riffing stands out onsuch songs as "Mary Long" and "Place in Line," this album also spotlights how far Jon Lord's contributions on organ went toward defining the band's sound. Lord's mastery was such that in addition to the impressive solos on "Place in Line,"his sweeping runs are the highlight of the stop-and-go "RatBat Blue." On this roller coaster ride of an album, the members of Deep Purple come together best on "Our Lady," a five-minute-plus epic driven by Lord's churning organ and Ian Gillan's Wagnerian vocals.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tension can be a good thing!, 30 Jan 2003
By Mic Olsen (Oakland, USA) - See all my reviews
Deep Purple's 1973 "Who Do We Think We Are" is a fantastic album that's been shuffled into the background behind some of those other Purple classics "Machine Head" and "Made In Japan". The great production, the hard driving polished playing and the killer songs make for one really enjoyable album. It's a shame that this lineup (Blackmore, Gillan, Glover, Lord and Paice) didn't stay together after the '73 tour. I've read all the reviews on this album and it seems that the big favorites are "Woman From Tokyo", "Smooth Dancer" and "Rat Bat Blue". While other songs like "Mary Long", "Our Lady" "Super Trooper" and "Place In Line" get there share of votes too. Even the unreleased bonus track "Painted Horse" gets votes and I've always liked that rare track. All this great feedback proves something I've known all along, this is one great album.
Long Live DP!

4.0 out of 5 stars 1973..Who Do We Think We Are? Your Deep Purple!, 4 Nov 2005
This is one of the underrated purple albums and has some of there best work on it. The opening track being 'my woman from tokyo' which is amazing and one of purple's best songs, 'mary long' is also on here which is great, 'super trouper' is the weaker record but still good,

'Smooth dancer' is a real cool song and is like a true purple record, 'rat bat blue' is also great, some of the music on this album is awesome, Lord'as keyboard playing is great, paice sounds great on the drums, it's one of there best albums. 'Our lady' would be my favorite on the album, 'a place in line' is also a good record.

4.0 out of 5 stars Always a good album
I think that this album always suffered because it followed three real "rocker" albums. The trouble with the fans of most bands is that they just want more of the same. Read more
