Fireball is a hard rock album by Deep Purple. It was released in 1971 and was the second studio LP by the classic lineup of the group.
The hit single from the album sessions was the boogie-inspired "Strange Kind of Woman", which appeared on the U.S and Japanese version of the album in place of "Demon's Eye".
On an interesting side note, this was the first album owned by Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich, and likewise had a profound impact and influence on him musically.
