Deep Purple are one of Britain's foremost hard rock bands, having sold over 100 million copies of their 18 studio albums. The membership of Purple has included some of the most respected members of heavy rock's hall of fame, though Ian Paice is the only original member still with the band.

Recorded by the BBC on March 9, 1972, this previously difficult to find live show captures the classic Mark ll version of Deep Purple in all their incendiary power. This performance - basically the entirety of the then just released Machine Head minus "Pictures of Home" - is easily as good, and at times better than, Made in Japan, recorded five months later. The band apparently felt the Japan tapes were of inferior quality, and initially did not want them released, which makes this arguably the most potent document of the group's live show from that year.  In any event, the live BBC tapes find Purple slamming through these songs like they had something to prove. Although "Child in Time" is MIA, it is replaced by "Maybe I'm a Leo" and "Never Before," two tracks that didn't make the Japan set list. Even without those additions, this is a find for all Deep Purple fans, and a great place for all classic rock fans to jump in. Since this release is from an audiophile label, great care was spent making sure the sound is as crisp as possible from tapes this old, and the work has paid off. ~ Hal Horowitz

This is the gig from 9 March , 1972, this time with DJ Mike Harding as compere. The latter recording features the only known live recording of "Never Before" (it was out as a single at the time) and a rare Mk II offering of "Maybe I'm a Leo". These two songs were played instead of the usual "Child in Time" to promote the new forthcoming album Machine Head, released at the end of the month (March 1972).

"Smoke on the Water" (the first ever live performance) and "Maybe I'm a Leo" were not included on the original 2 LP vinyl release in 1980, although "Smoke on the Water" was made available as a single release. The vinyl was housed in a gatefold-sleeve with photo-liners.

All songs written by Ritchie Blackmore, Ian Gillan, Roger Glover, Jon Lord and Ian Paice except where indicated.

Track listing:

"Highway Star" – 8:32
"Strange Kind of Woman" – 9:17
