The track was recorded on 7 and 12 June 1969. At the time, Glover had not yet joined the band and played on the track as a session musician.[2]
The song was written by Roger Greenaway and Roger Cook, and originally released as "I am the Preacher" by The Derek Lawrence Statement earlier the same year.[4] Deep Purple's cover version flopped, despite TV appearances to promote the record in the UK.[5] Guitarist Ritchie Blackmore told the Record Mirror that the new band "need to have a commercial record in Britain", and described the song as "an in-between sort of thing"—a median between what the band would normally make but with an added commercial motive.[5] Gillan was unhappy about the single because he did not write the lyrics.

Hallelujah — песня, написанная британским композитором Роджером Гринвеем[en] и певцом Роджером Куком[en][1]. Песня стала известной благодаря исполнению британской группой Deep Purple. Это самая первая запись, сделанная классическим составом группы, называемом «Mark II». Она была записана в июне 1969 года и выпущена на сингле (c первой частью композиции «April» из альбома Deep Purple на второй стороне) в июле того же года лейблами Harvest Records в Великобритании и Tetragrammaton Records в США.
