MADE IN JAPAN

The 1998 re-issue of Deep Purple's legendary Made in Japan concert recording was put out with enhanced sound quality and the addition of second disc, which features the encore material from the classic Mark II lineup's performances in the land of the rising sun.

Packaged with an alternate cover design versus the gold sleeve that held the double LP set from 1972, Made in Japan captures the synergetic intensity generated from the stage by Ritchie Blackmore, Jon Lord, Roger Glover, Ian Paice and Ian Gillan, the legendary mk 1 lineup.

Recorded live during Purple's sold-out dates in Osaka and Tokyo, during August of 1972, made in Japan opens with the foot-to-the-floor "Highway Star", and includes the epic "Child in Time", the moon-shot rockin' "Space Truckin'", the jamming lazy, and the classic riff 'n' rollin' "Smoke on the Water". The expanded '98 release closes with "The Encores", in the form of the striding "Black Night", the urgent "Speed King" and a cover of "Lucille", which adds twenty-two minutes to the live Deep Purple experience. 4.999 but rounded up to 5.
