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.

VINYL Audio: EXCELLENT+
Superb sound quality - strong and vibrant and my play-check at loud volume found practically nothing of note to fault, even though this copy has seen a few spins it plays beautifully - no loud clicks or pops, no groove wear or distortion and clean on the quieter sections - excellent copy
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT
Apart from some soft shop creases to the spine and a little record impression (not ring) the sleeve is crisp and sharp with no edge wear to speak of and a deep gloss to the outer laminated surfaces
