SCARCE 1973 "QUADRAPHONIC" with different song mixes from the 'regular' known 1971 release...
The 1973 Quadraphonic original issue uses a then, specially designed SQ decoder permiting the a 4 channel sound separation (as opposed to the regular 2 channel) when playback is through the quad system or even surround sound receiver, resulting in completely different song mixes that can be detected even on the 'normal' stereo system. The record company changed around the song mixes (sounding like things were added) to enhance the quadraphonic 4-channel listening experience....
Ah, now this is one legendary album, this here Machine Head. A true classic of hard rock, and after 39 years it has held up incredibly well. Dropped in '72, the album was a huge success, mainly because of that grinder with the riff that opens Side 2, but we'll get to that later on.
Where to begin with this classic? Well how about the opener "Highway Star", what a way to open this beast! On this high tempo ass kicking classic, Ian Gillan's shrieks are at their best, and Jon Lord and especially Ritchie Blackmore get to show off their amazing soloing skills. Blackmore's guitar solo is easily one of the best you'll hear. Oh, and Ian Paice on the drums is a outstanding with powerdrives everywhere. The result is one of the best album openers ever and arguably of the best Deep Purple songs. Following that is the overlooked "Maybe I'm a Leo", nice crunchy riff there. A stellar Paice drum roll opens "Pictures of Home", a somewhat more somber track longing for a return home. Lord plays another fantastic solo, and there is even an unexpected BASS solo from Roger Glover! Side 1 closes with the more accessible "Never Before", then you flip the vinyl over and...
'the riff' ... "Smoke on the Water", a classic tune unfolding the tale of how Machine Head was recorded, along with the story of some stupid with a flare gun burning a building down during a Frank Zappa concert. Happens all the time, doesn't it? Following "Smoke" is the extended piece "Lazy", a 7 minute jam filled with crazy good organ and guitar solos. There's even a quick shot of harmonica too. Sadly we're already at the end (this is quite the short album actually), but the last one is a monster; "Space Truckin'". Listen to that opening organ riff...More powerful Paice drums, and then there is Ian...giving possibly the greatest vocal of his career. "YEAH YEAH YEAH SPACE TRUCKIN!!!" Sorry, had to do it...
So that's Machine Head for ya. A driving ROCK classic for all time, if you don't have this then shame on you!
