Deep Purple: Who Do We Think We Are 1973 UK Original Purple Label Vinyl Album

Who Do We Think We Are was the last studio album by the classic Mark II line-up of Deep Purple before Ian Gillan and Roger Glover left in 1973. Recorded in Rome and Frankfurt with the Rolling Stones Mobile, it followed Machine Head and gave us Woman From Tokyo, one of their best loved songs.

This is a UK pressing on the band's own Purple label, in the gatefold sleeve with the newspaper cuttings inside and the printed lyric inner. The title came from the angry letters Ian Paice said the band got, which started off "Who do Deep Purple think they are...".
