Deep Purple – Made in Japan (Super Deluxe Edition)

Description

Limited 10 vinyl LP box set. On August 15, 1972, Deep Purple took the stage in Japan for the first of three shows that would give rise to one of rock’s most celebrated live albums, Made In Japan. This super deluxe edition features new stereo and Dolby ATMOS mixes of the original by acclaimed producer Steven Wilson, all three concerts newly remixed by Richard Digby Smith, and several rare single edits. Singer Ian Gillan, guitarist Ritchie Blackmore, keyboardist Jon Lord, bassist Roger Glover, and drummer Ian Paice-Deep Purple’s famed Mk II lineup-turned studio staples like “Smoke On The Water, ” “Highway Star, ” and “Space Truckin'” into explosive live statements. Wilson harnesses the raw energy of the original tapes in his new stereo and Atmos mixes. “It’s all completely as it happened on the night, ” he says. “The album has a power and sense of abandon that they never quite captured in the studio. Hopefully this new mix makes it feel even more like you’re there.”
