"You're a high ball shooter...
You sure ripped the low ones off me".

Can this scatological trash have really been penned by the same group that gave the world "Anthem", "April" and "Child In Time"? Yes and no. Deep Purple Mark III was a retrograde step, even though it produced a handful of classic tracks like "Burn". Fortunately, David Coverdale soon departed to found a band more in keeping with his character, writing such non-classics as the all too obvious "Slide It In".
Group composition "High Ball Shooter" runs to 4 minutes 26 seconds and is the 7^th track on the 1974 Stormbringer album. >>
