Who Do We Think We Are  by Deep Purple

Deep Purple's seventh studio album is Who Do We Think We Are, and its release marks the collaboration of Ian Gillan and Roger Glover with the band for the 1970s, as these two will leave, thus bringing the Mark II period to an end. All this happens in 1973.

Who Do We Think We Are certainly features a hard rock style, but blues rock elements also begin to appear in songs like Super Trooper or Place In Line. The big success of the album is the opening track Woman From Tokyo. The album was recorded under adverse conditions as, on one hand, it was preceded by an eighteen-month tour for Machine Head and the release of the legendary live album Made In Japan, which had pushed all the band's members to their limits, and on the other hand, their label was pressuring them for new songs and an album. This combination led to an explosion between Ritchie Blackmore and Ian Gillan, with the latter leaving alongside Roger Glover.

Nevertheless, the album found success in Great Britain and the U.S., achieving high positions on the charts of these countries as well as in many other European countries, allowing Deep Purple to maintain their popularity among the then-global rock community.
