REISSUES
Deep Purple
Machine Head: Super Deluxe Edition UMC
Three-CD reissue adds remixes, Montreux and BBC live sets, audio fairy dust and more.
DIDI ZILL/PRESS
Yup, the one with Smoke On The Water. That song, and this album, broke Deep Purple in America and made them legends all over the globe to this day.
This, essentially, is a three-CD version. The first disc pairs the Dweezil Zappa 2024 Remix with the 2024 Remaster; the second contains In Concert ’72, the third delivers the previously unreleased Montreux ’71. Given that you already own at least one copy of Machine Head and possibly bought In Concert ’72 on CD in 2012, you’ll need to know that this £100 box also contains: a 60-page booklet, Dweezil’s remix on vinyl in gatefold sleeve, and a Blu-ray audio disc containing a Dolby Atmos version, the 1974 quadrophonic mix, and some Dolby 5.1 surround versions.
