Deep Purple - Machine Head

NEW VINYL LP ON UNIVERSAL 2024

180 GRAM VINYL.

Machine Head is the sixth studio album released by the English rock band Deep Purple, recorded in December 1971 at Montreux, Switzerland and released on 25 March 1972 on Purple Records.
Following intermittent recording sessions between gigs for earlier albums, Deep Purple wanted a dedicated amount of time to record an album away from the typical studio environment that sounded closer to their live shows. They hired the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio for recording, and block booked the Montreux Casino as a venue, but during a Frank Zappa concert immediately before the sessions, it burned to the ground. The band managed to book the Grand Hotel, closed for the winter, and converted the hotel into a live room suitable for recording. These events, particularly the casino fire, became the inspiration for the song "Smoke on the Water".

Continuing the celebration of the 50th Anniversary of seminal Deep Purple album 'Machine Head' is the 2024 Dweezil Zappa remix available as a stand alone 1LP.

'Machine Head' stands among the most iconic Rock albums of all time, as it is featuring landmark songs such as ¡°Smoke On The Water¡±, ¡°Highway Star¡± and ¡°Space Truckin¡¯¡±.
