Released in 1973, Who Do We Think We Are is the seventh studio album by Deep Purple. It was Deep Purple’s last album with singer Ian Gillan and bassist Roger Glover until 1984’s Perfect Strangers.

Musically, the record showed a move to a more blues-based sound, even featuring scat singing. Although its production and the band’s behaviour after its release showed the group in turmoil, with frontman Gillan remarking that ‘we’d all had major illnesses’ and felt considerable fatigue, the album was a commercial success. Deep Purple became the US’s top selling artist in 1973. The album also featured the energetic hard rock single Woman from Tokyo, which has been performed on several tours by the band over the years.

Who Do We Think We Are was recorded in Rome in July 1972 and Walldorf near Frankfurt in October 1972, using the Rolling Stones’ mobile studio.
