Deep Purple's Fireball Reached Number One in UK
Deep Purple's album Fireball reached number one on the UK album chart and achieved million-selling success.
Recording work for the album Fireball began in September 1970, three months after the release of In Rock. Martin Birch served as sound engineer during the recordings, while the band produced the album themselves. Fireball became Deep Purple's first album to reach number one on the UK album chart and achieved million-selling success.
The single Strange Kind Of Woman was released a few weeks before the Fireball album and peaked at number 8 on the UK charts. The track Demon's Eye was removed from the original American pressing of the album to make room for Strange Kind Of Woman. In October 1971, the song Fireball was released as a single and reached number 15 on the UK chart.
Lars Ulrich bought the Fireball album the day after watching Deep Purple in Copenhagen in 1973.
