The album ncludes such Deep Purple classics as "Anyone's Daughter," "The Mule,""No One Came" and the title track.
MACHINE HEAD (1972): "One of the "100 Greatest Heavy Metal Albums of All Time...an essential hard rock album for any rock music collection."Machine Head is the sixth studio album released by Deep Purple.

It reached # 7 in the US, remaining on the Billboard 200 for 118 weeks.

Who Do We Think We Are is the seventh studio album by Deep Purple and their last album with singer Ian Gillan until the reunited in 1984. The original album artwork has many quoted articles from newspapers.
One of them is from Melody Maker July 1972, where Ian Paice says:"Deep Purple get piles of passionate letters either violently against or pro the group. The angry ones generally start off "Who do Deep Purple think they are..." The album hit # 4 in the UK and # 15 in the US and Deep Purple became the best selling artist in the USA in 1973.

Originally released in February 1973, "Selling England By The Pound" was the bands biggest selling album so far. Still with singer Peter Gabriel it included the bands first encounter with the singles chart with "I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe). The album cover is a painting by Betty Swanwick called The Dream. The original painting did not feature a lawn mower; the band had Swanwick add it later as an allusion to the song "I Know What I Like." In 2012, the album ranked seventh in Rolling Stone's "Readers' Poll: Your Favorite Prog Rock Albums of All Time."
