Machine Head (Super Deluxe) [3CD + LP + Blu-ray]
Deep Purple unleashed one of the best guitar riffs since the invention of rock and roll with âSmoke On The Water,â a song dubbed the Beethovenâs 5th of hard rock. Since its 1972 debut on MACHINE HEAD, the song and the album have left an indelible mark on music, inspiring countless bands around the world.
We're honoring the albumâs enormous legacy with a comprehensive version introducing new mixes and previously unreleased live recordings.
Highlighting the collection are several different versions of the album, including new stereo and Dolby Atmos mixes by Dweezil Zappa. The 1974 quadraphonic mix and a newly remastered version of the original album are also featured, adding depth to the extraordinary set.
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 groupâs unrivaled stage presence during the âMachine Head Tour.â 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 âSmoke On The Water.â
In the aftermath, guitarist Ritchie Blackmore, keyboardist Jon Lord, singer Ian Gillan, bassist Roger Glover, and drummer Ian Paice relocated to the nearby Grand Hotel (empty for the winter season) to record the album. Despite the chaos, the band managed to create its most successful album ever, topping the U.K. album chart and cracking the Top 10 in the U.S., earning a double platinum certification in 1986.
The previously unreleased Montreux concert promises to be a highlight for fans. The audience recording covers songs the band recorded prior to MACHINE HEAD, including âChild In Timeâ (from 1969âs CONCERTO FOR GROUP AND ORCHESTRA), âSpeed Kingâ (from 1970âs DEEP PURPLE IN ROCK), and âStrange Kind Of Womanâ (from 1971âs FIREBALL).
The new Dolby Atmos and 2024 mixes provide fresh and immersive perspectives on this classic album and were made by Zappa using the original tapes. In the liner notes, Zappa says: âItâs one of those records where I think, âHow did they come up with this?â Itâs got classical influences in the guitar and the keyboard, but then itâs got the blues and thereâs little bits of funkiness. And you have this singer who has the most killer voice. All these things come together in a way where it doesnât sound like commercial music, yet people got really excited about it. Itâs a fascinating recipe.
