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.
Side 1: HIGHWAY STAR (Osaka - 16th August 1972) / CHILD IN TIME (Osaka - 16th August 1972)
Side 2: SMOKE ON THE WATER (Osaka - 15th August 1972) / THE MULE (Tokyo - 17th August 1972)
Side 3: STRANGE KIND OF WOMAN (Osaka - 16th August 1972) / LAZY (Tokyo - 17th August 1972)
Side 4: SPACE TRUCKIN' (Osaka - 16th August 1972)
LABELS: EXCELLENT+/NEAR MINT
Clean, bright and unmarked labels (none of the common foxing) - Sides 1 and 4 have moderate spindles, Sides 2 and 3 show just a couple
VINYL Visual: NEAR MINT
All four vinyl surfaces retain their original deep glossy sheen and shine like-new with barely a mark to be seen
VINYL Audio: NEAR MINT
Outstanding audio quality and sound performance - incredibly strong, vibrant and atmospheric - plays beautifully throughout and my play-check at loud volume detected no major audio issues of note - just a couple of clicks at the beginning of "Lazy" (impossibly minor and non-intrusive) - otherwise, lovely and clean, even on the quietest parts - sounds stunning - great copy - very highly recommended indeed
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT+
Superb example - the only (incredibly minor) faults are a little record impression and a tiny, tiny nick at the opening edge (please see close-up photos) otherwise, practically like new - crisp, clean, sharp and fresh and the finest I have seen in a long, long time
