Deep Purple - Fireball: Wikipedia Album Entry
Fireball is the fifth album by Deep Purple, released in 1971. It is also the second album recorded by the classic Mark II line-up.
Following the success of In Rock, the band's previous album, Fireball became a hit reaching #1 in The UK - the band's first of three number ones in their home land.
"Strange Kind of Woman" was released as a single and reached #8 in the UK. However, it wasn't included on the original European version of the album. Instead, "Demon's Eye" made it to the record. American and Japanese versions both have "Strange Kind Of Woman", but not "Demon's Eye.
In 1996, a 25th Anniversary Edition was released. It contained the original European version of the album along with extensive liner notes and 9 additional tracks from the same recording sessions, including "Strange Kind Of Woman".
The album is considered by many fans (although not by the majority in the band) as a classic record, that was important in developing the hard rock / heavy metal sound. On the other hand, it also includes a country song, "Anyone's Daughter", which is something the band has never done before or after Fireball.
Several songs from the album made it to the concert setlists througout the years (mainly after Blackmore's departure) and "Strange Kind of Woman" is still played live nowadays.
The album was recorded by the classic Mark II line-up, that included:
Ian Gillan - vocals
Ritchie Blackmore - guitar
Roger Glover - bass
Jon Lord - keyboards, Hammond organ
Ian Paice - drums

Deep Purple - Fireball Lyrics
Deep Purple - Fireball Lyrics
The golden light above you
Shows me where you're from
The magic in your eye bewitches
All you gaze upon
Deep Purple - No No No Lyrics
Really hate the running
Really hate the game
Looking at them all
I wanna be unborn again
Deep Purple - Anyone's Daughter Lyrics
The wind is blowing from a new direction
You're thinking 'bout going, I know
It's been a long season and hard on our affections
But that's no reason to let go
Deep Purple - The Mule Lyrics
No one sees the things you do
Because I stand in front of you
But you drive me all the time
You put the evil in my mind
Deep Purple - Fools Lyrics
I'm crying
I'm dying
I can see what's wrong with me
Deep Purple - No One Came Lyrics
Maybe it's because I'm only starting
That I think it won't take too long
Maybe it's because I can see you laughing
That I think you've got it wrong
Deep Purple - Strange Kind Of Woman Lyrics
There once was a woman
A strange kind of woman
The kind that gets written down in history
