Deep Purple - Burn

For 1973's Burn, Deep Purple founders Ritchie Blackmore, Ian Paice and Jon Lord recruited the amazing vocal talents of rising newcomer David Coverdale (Whitesnake & Coverdale/Page) and power bassist/vocalist Glenn Hughes (Trapeze/Black Sabbath/Hughes Turner Project/Black Country Communion) for what turned out to be one of their best known and respected albums in their huge catalog. Commonly referred to Purple fans as the Mark III lineup, this dream team to this day is often considered one of the finest hard rock outfits of all time. The term arena act began with bands like Deep Purple in the sixties and seventies, and these masters of the game have carried the torch ever since.
