DATE CODED 7211 1972, November COMPLETE WITH THE TWO ORIGINAL MATCHING PLAIN WHITE INNERS SLEEVES WITH UK PATENT NUMBER AND MADE IN GREAT BRITAIN TEXT PRINTED IN GREY Recorded over three nights in August 1972, Deep Purple s Made in Japan was the record that brought the band to headliner status in the U.S.
and elsewhere, and it remains a landmark in the history of heavy metal music.
Since reorganising with singer Ian Gillan and bassist Roger Glover in 1969, Deep Purple had recorded three important albums Deep Purple in Rock, Fireball, and Machine Head and used the material to build a fierce live show.
Made in Japan, its selections drawn from those albums, documented that show, in which songs were drawn out to ten and even nearly 20 minutes with no less intensity, as guitarist Ritchie Blackmore and organist Jon Lord soloed extensively and Gillan sang in a screech that became the envy of all metal bands to follow.
The signature song, of course, was Smoke on the Water, with its memorable riff, but those extended workouts, particularly the moody Child in Time, with Gillan s haunting falsetto wail and Blackmore s amazingly fast playing, and Space Truckin , with Lord s organ effects, maintained the onslaught, making this a definitive treatment of the band s catalogue and its most impressive album.
