Recorded by the BBC on March 9, 1972, this previously difficult to
find live show captures the classic Mark ll version of Deep Purple in
all their incendiary power. This performance -- basically the entirety
of the then just released Machine Head minus "Pictures of Home" -- is
easily as good, and at times better than, Made in Japan, recorded five
months later. The band apparently felt the Japan tapes were of
inferior quality, and initially did not want them released, which
makes this arguably the most potent document of the group's live show
from that year. Although this SACD hybrid adds studio versions of
"Hush" and "River Deep Mountain High" from the Mark l edition to flesh
out the playing time, one of the live tracks, their version of Little
Richard's "Lucille," is only available on the SACD layer. That means
that anyone without an SACD player won't be able to hear it, but will
be able to play the two studio tracks, a perplexing decision that is
unexplained in the liner notes. In any event, the live BBC tapes find
Purple slamming through these songs like they had something to prove.
Although "Child in Time" is MIA, it is replaced by "Maybe I'm a Leo"
and "Never Before," two tracks that didn't make the Japan set list.
Even without those additions, this is a find for all Deep Purple fans,
and a great place for all classic rock fans to jump in. Since this
release is from an audiophile label, great care was spent making sure
the sound is as crisp as possible from tapes this old, and the work
has paid off. Those with SACD equipment get to hear "Lucille" and also
experience the band in a wider soundscape, making the performance even
more lifelike.
