wrong article title
This article should not be titled Deep Purple in Rock, since that's not the name of the record. I suggest In Rock or In Rock (Deep Purple album). -Freekee 04:08, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

What evidence do you have that Deep Purple in Rock is not the title? My original Harvest vinyl pressing clearly gives the album title as Deep Purple in Rock. If the title is In Rock as you suggest, why on the front and rear cover is it spelt with a lower case i? (Pbeas 23:58, 13 May 2007 (UTC))

You don't need an original vinyl pressing (I have one too though!) to know how to read an album cover. Nearly every album has the name of the band on the cover, but that doesn't make it a part of the album name. Should the other albums read "DEEP PURPLE MACHINE HEAD" or "DEEP PURPLE FIREBALL"? No. This is because the band took a chance and hoped we could still name the album when it isn't printed in ALL CAPS. Oh, and by the way, everyone calls it In Rock. Find an interview with the band themselves, and they even call it In Rock. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jthm guitarist (talk • contribs) 05:42, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

 * No, the album is called Deep Purple in Rock, due to the lower case "i" on the original album cover, which has obviously been placed purposely. The band of course call it In Rock, that is just for short. The album is called Deep Purple in Rock and I am moving it back. Perhaps we should have a vote on this?

All Music, Amazon, deep-purple.net, Answer.com, RYM, etc. The album is also known as In Rock, and is sometimes referred to as that, but the original and official title was and is Deep Purple in Rock. It is appropriate to have an In Rock disamb page directing people here, and mention may also be made in the article that some people, including the band members, refer to it as In Rock - with references to the articles.

Yes, it's officially called Deep Purple in Rock and even the album cover art itself clearly shows this. The heads of the band members are in rock hence the name Deep Purple in Rock.Peter Jensen (talk) 10:54, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

Upper case or lower case characters are irrelevant. Many album covers don't pay mind to the conventions of writing out the title with all words having an upper case first letter. It should at last say it's "also referred to" or "also known as" In Rock in the first sentence. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.249.102.6 (talk) 15:43, 20 September 2019 (UTC)

Big G
The song "Living Wreck" contains the phrase "Everyone calls you Big G." What does that mean? I doubt there is a connection with Big G. Hybscher (talk) 09:00, 16 June 2013 (UTC)
 * The song's about a groupie (according to the album notes), so it'll be either "big groupie", "big girl" or "big [person's name beginning with G]". Either way, without a reliable source, we'll never know. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  20:22, 28 July 2020 (UTC)
 * ...Or Big G refers to gonorrhea. But I don't see any reliable sources talking about the lyric. Binksternet (talk) 21:29, 29 July 2020 (UTC)
