Burn is the eighth studio album by hard rock group Deep Purple. It was recorded in Montreux, Switzerland in November 1973 with the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio, and released in February 1974.
It introduced new lead vocalist David Coverdale and new bassist/vocalist Glenn Hughes from Trapeze. They replaced Ian Gillan and Roger Glover. This was the first Deep Purple album with the Mark III lineup. With the addition of Coverdale and Hughes, Purple's hard rock sound became more boogie oriented, incorporating elements of soul and funk which would become much more prominent on the follow up album, Stormbringer.
'"Might Just Take Your Life"/"Coronarias Redig"' was Deep Purple's first UK single in two years. Released on February 12th, three days before the album.
Unusual for the time, the album was advertised on British television at the time of its release. Most of the songs on this album are slow to mid-tempo, the only fast song being the title track.
