  • "Made In ENGLAND"  - (maroon) E.M.I.

    SUPER-RARE & FANTASTIC, 1972 BRITISH EXPORT issue on the seldom EVER seen MAR00N E.M.I label ~ housed in GATEFOLD cover

    This is prime DEEP PURPLE at their peak, "Machine Head" is the ultimate turned-on "SCREAMER" here in export EMI super-rare limited pressing ... The Lp was a BIG party record back in the early '70s and most copies are trashed some 47+ years later.

    ............................................................

    Ah, now this is one legendary album, this here "Machine Head." A true classic of hard rock, and after 49+ years it has held up incredibly well. THIS IS the '72 release ~ the album was a huge success, mainly because of that grinder with the big guitar 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!
