“In Rock” is arguably one of the first true “heavy metal” albums. It still stands as one of Deep Purple’s best & “heaviest” works. The sound on this cd version, however, leaves much to be desired. I will swear my old lp sounds better. So 5 stars for the music, 1 star for the sound. Your best option is to spend a few extra bucks on the Import “25th Anniversary” edition. Unlike many “limited editions” & “remasters” the bonus tracks on the “In Rock 25th Anniversary” kick @ss thanks to some remixing by Roger Glover.
Again, pass on this one in favor of the better sounding and expanded Import version.
