- -- Release notes ---------------------------------------------------- -- -

     The music industry is a great place for recycling.  Never
     more so than in terms of album reissues and one wonders why
     the powers that be cannot render definitive versions from the
     start?

     This BBC recording from 1972 has appeared previously but only
     now is the correct running order restored and one track makes
     its first appearance on CD.

     Uniquely, in 1972 the BBC recorded Purple for their æSounds
     Of The SeventiesÆ series using 8-track and it was broadcast
     on March 18 of that year.

     Most of the set features æMachine HeadÆ (the album came out
     in late-March) and therefore is an almost unique and complete
     live account of that album, complementing û even if
     overshadowed û by the seminal æMade In JapanÆ set released in
     late-1972.

     The only tracks missing from this BBC gig are those they
     couldnÆt rescue from the original tapes, sound-check versions
     of æNever BeforeÆ and æHighway StarÆ although they managed to
     salvage æMaybe IÆm A LeoÆ.

     The liner notes detail the various iterations of the albumÆs
     history from vinyl in 1980 as part of an æIn ConcertÆ double
     LP.  ThereÆs no explanation though for the unusual use of 8-
     track tape. Perhaps uniquely also the original broadcast
     included a fair amount of (rather superfluous) banter from
     the compere Mike Harding, and interjections from Ian Gillan.

     And the music?  Well here is a band on the threshold of
     greater commercial success, there is a confidence in the
     delivery and a contrast with the earlier BBC set from 1970
     (That gig was included on the 1980 vinyl and the first CD
     issue of these concerts in 1992).

     The extended version of æStrange Kind Of WomanÆ showcases
     BlackmoreÆs idiosyncratics and the spot on scat singing from
     Gillan, whilst æSpace TruckinÆ is a 22-minute tour-de-force.
     Of course collectors can debate whether this gig exceeds the
     Made In Japan set in places (although that analysis is now
     further complicated by the recent multi-disc release).

     In truth, æSmoke On The WaterÆ û which receives a first live
     outing û lacks the power of the definitive MIJ version but,
     really, this is splitting hairs.  öIn Concert 72? is a
     wonderful artefact not just of a band in their ascendancy but
     of a time when there was actually something exciting for rock
     fans on the radio.
