I don't recognise that brown In Rock cover, not seen that before...the one I have is blue.
I think at the time DP were trying to gain ground, and be considered as credible as, or a serious contender to, Led Zeppelin who really were the kings of rock. DP had just re-jigged their line up to Ian Gillan, Ritchie Blackmore, Roger Glover, Jon Lord and Ian Paice, & this album was the first studio album recorded by the 'Mark II' line-up. Gillan was an incredible vocalist, & so was David Coverdale who joined them at some future point, replacing Gillan.
