Deep Purple – Live In Japan (Japanese Pressing)

Ultra Rare Japanese Pressing of Made in Japan called Live in Japan from 1985

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 reorganizing with singer Ian Gillan and bassist Roger Glover in 1969, Deep Purple has recorded three important albums — Deep Purple in RockFireball, 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, which went on to become an American hit single. 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 catalog and its most impressive album. By stretching out and going to extremes, Deep Purple pushed its music into the kind of deliberate excess that made heavy metal what it became, and their audience recognized the breakthrough, propelling the original double LP into the U.S. Top Ten and sales of over a million copies.
