Early in 1969, the band recorded a single called "Emmaretta", named after Emmaretta Marks, then a cast member of the musical "Hair", whom Evans was trying to seduce. By March of that year, the band had completed recording for their third album, "Deep Purple". The album contained strings and woodwind on one track ("April"), showcasing Lord's classical antecedents such as Bach and Rimsky-Korsakov, and several other influences were in evidence, notably Vanilla Fudge. (Lord and Blackmore had even claimed the group wanted to be a "Vanilla Fudge clone".) This was the last recording by the original line-up.
