In 1971 Deep Purple recorded his album "Machine Head" (edited in 1972). At some point, guitarist Ritchie Blackmore said he was to tired to record rhythm guitars, so Jon Lord decided to emulate it himself. For doing that, he conected Hammond organ to distorted Ritchie's amplifiers (Marshall Major at this time), and developed what he called "The Beast", one of his caracteristic sounds.

Jon Lord is known for using Leslie cabinets in his entire career. In this video you can see this cabinet behind him at 5:03, while playing Continuo on BACH, a Bach inconclused fugue - BWV1080 - adapted by him for his Windows solo album (Munich 01.06.74)
