This was the last album the Ian Gillan, Roger Glover, Ritchie Blackmore, Jon Lord and Ian Paice line-up made before Gillan and Glover departed. Despite the tension, the record has a loose, groovy swagger all of its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWoman from Tokyo is the big one, a fan favourite built on one of Blackmore's catchiest riffs and a dreamy middle section that drifts off before snapping back into gear. Mary Long takes playful aim at moral crusaders, while Smooth Dancer is a fast, funky rocker with Lord's organ swirling all over it. Rat Bat Blue rides a heavy, boogie-driven groove that shows how tight this band was even under strain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt might not have the reputation of the albums around it, but it rewards repeat listens with plenty of grit and charm. For any hard rock fan, it is a vital part of the Deep Purple story.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57439075565873,"sku":"603497850440","price":41.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/1200x1200bb_3852b6d9-37e0-42ea-9305-3f993dd0b352.jpg?v=1794151838","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/deep-purple-who-do-we-think-we-are-purple","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
