- In Rock (1970) Galvanised by, and also resentful of, the popular perception of Jon Lord as Purple’s leader, Ritchie Blackmore comes alive here. No one was playing guitar with such speed and dexterity as the 60s switched into the 70s.
- Machine Head (1972) This album was a turning point. Suddenly, belatedly, people began to realise that Messrs Gillan, Blackmore, Lord, Glover and Paice weren’t a Led Zeppelin or a Black Sabbath; neither were they the “pop” Purple of the late 60s.
- Fireball (1971) Fireball is Ian Gillan’s No.1 album from Purple’s Mk II period: “We brought in the funk, the blues, the soul, the jazz and some of the psychedelic hangovers from our early days… Without it we would never have been able to make Machine Head.”
- Burn (1974) To many people, only 24-carat Purple will do. As the late Jon Lord told this writer: “When Mk II split, Purple stopped. I know we carried on with David [Coverdale] and Glenn [Hughes] and then Tommy [Bolin], but it was never quite the same.”
