Deep Purple - Who Do We Think We Are (Audio Fidelity 24k Gold CD)

Review
Who Do We Think We Are was the last album that the Mark II lineup of Deep Purple recorded. Arguably, this is the finest lineup the rock legends ever had. It seems only fitting that Audio Fidelity decided that it was worthy of its 24KT Gold treatment. This series of gold disc releases are destined to be coveted collectors items as soon as they hit the racks and it makes that much more enticing to own such fine recordings for your own collection.

I always loved "Woman From Tokyo" but after hearing "Rat Bat Blue" in this format, it is by far the best track on the album. Ritchie Blackmore was at an apex playing his patented blues-rock licks and all seven tracks prove that unequivocally. There are many great Deep Purple albums and the previous release Machine Head certainly rivals this album in many ways. It is a tough call picking which one is the best.

It takes a crisp clear 24KT Gold format to make you sit up and take notice of how important these albums are to the history of rock music. I noticed some things right away while listening to this great album. The bass and drums are up front like never before and the sound is explosive, keeping up with Blackmore’s blistering guitar lines.

I could not ask for more on this release, I heard one of the best Deep Purple albums ever recorded, and with a new lease on life, featuring a sound that would make the pictures on your wall jar loose if you turned it up loud enough. This is the way rock ‘n’ roll was meant to sound all along.
