Fireball is an album by Deep Purple, released in the US in August, 1971 (September 15, 1971 in the UK). It reached #32 on the Billboard 200 Top LPs chart, and #1 on the UK Albums chart. Fureball is Deep Purples fifth studio album, and the second with the classic Mk II lineup. It was recorded at various times between September 1970 and June 1971. The original UK version had Demons Eye as its third track, but did not include Strange Kind of Woman, which was instead released as a single there. It was vice-versa on the American and Japanese releases. By the time of this 1971 release, Deep Purple was in the midst of making the transition from the hard-edged pop of the bands first line-up to a band that was battling Led Zeppelin for the hard rock crown. Having already gotten off to a great start with Deep Purple in Rock, this Purple lineup of Ian Gillan, Ritchie Blackmore, Jon Lord, Roger Glover, and Ian Paice fit together like interlocking pieces. Blessed with such unerring chemistry, Purple raised the bar for hard rock with such nuggets as the hard-driving title track and the grinding Fools. Elsewhere, they show surprising range with the country-flavored Anyones Daughter (featuring some impressive finger picking by Blackmore) and the Jimi Hendrix-influenced No One Came (which includes a dollop of psychedelic backwards guitar). Also included is the Purple epic The Mule, a sweeping tour de force dominated by Blackmores Middle Eastern-tinged soloing and Lords Pink Floyd-ian keyboard runs. The song became a highlight of Deep Purples live shows. REVIEW by Eduardo Rivadavia, allmusic One of Deep Purples four indispensable albums (the others being In Rock, Machine Head, and Burn), 1971s Fireball saw the band broadening out from the no-holds-barred hard rock direction of the previous years cacophonous In Rock. Metal machine noises introduced the sizzling title track -- an unusually compact but explosively tight group effort on which Jon Lords organ truly shined. The somewhat tiring repetitions of No No No actually threatened to drop the ball next, but the fantastic single Strange Kind of Woman nimbly caught and set it rolling again, just in time for the innuendo-encrusted hilarity of Anyones Daughter, featuring one of singer Ian Gillans first (and still best) humorous storylines to go with one of guitarist Ritchie Blackmores most uncharacteristic, bluesiest performances ever. The Mule opened the vinyl albums second side with what is perhaps Purples finest instrumental, and on the hyper-extended Fools, the bandmembers proved they could flirt with progressive rock without plunging off its cliff (although the song could probably have done without its drawn-out middle section). And closing the album was the exceptional No One Came, where intertwining instrumental lines locked together beautifully, Gillan wove another entertaining yarn that was part autobiography and part Monty Python, and the often underrated skills of drummer Ian Paice helped the song sound so unreservedly fresh and intuitive that one could almost be convinced the band had winged it on the spot. Sure, the following years Machine Head would provide Deep Purple with their commercial peak, but on Fireball, the formidable quintet was already firing on all cylinders.
