Machine Head 50th Anniversary Deluxe

Description

A 3-CD / 1 LP / 1 Blu-ray super deluxe edition of one of defining rock albums of the 20th century, Deep Purple’s Machine Head. The original album, remastered, is a comprehensive version introducing new mixes and previously unreleased live recordings, including a new mix of the original album on
smokey purple vinyl
. The 3-CDs feature new stereo by Dweezil Zappa, the 1974 quadraphonic mix, and a newly remastered version of the original album. The Super Deluxe Edition also contains two captivating live performances. The first, recorded on March 9, 1972, at the Paris Theatre in London, captures the group’s unrivaled stage presence during the “Machine Head Tour.” The second, previously unreleased, was recorded in April 1971 at the Montreux Casino in Switzerland. The band planned to record Machine Head there that December, but the venue burned down right before the sessions began, an event immortalized in “Smoke On The Water.” This extraordinary set includes new liner notes by Rolling Stone’s Kory Grow, enhanced by contributions from generations of bands influenced by Deep Purple.
