June 1973 to May 1975

Deep Purple Mk III   

People involved

Ritchie Blackmore (gtr); David Coverdale (vcl); Glenn Hughes (bss/vcl); Jon Lord (kbr); Ian Paice (drm).

Due to some contractual problems with Hughes's previous record company, he is taken on as a secret member for a couple of months. Neither is he credited for his writing contributions to Burn (1974). On the following Stormbringer (1974) he gets full credit, though.
