MACHINE HEAD

Few months after the astonishing live performances in Japan , and with the original line - up ( Lord , Gillan , Paice , Blackmore & Glover ) another impact was created in 1972 by Machine Head their second releases in 1972 . I've got the 45 single version of When a Blind Man Cries two months before the album . A real Excellent work by DP . All tracks deserves same ratings & same credits in this remarkable piece of art . What an opening with Highway Star ( 5 Stars ) maybe i'm a Leo & Pictures of home ( 4 Stars ) Never before & Space Trackin' ( 3.5 Stars ) Lazy & Smoke on the Water ( 4.5 Stars ) If you really want to discover the phase 2 of DP , this album is more than essential . IMO , all releases between 1970 - 1974 deserves the same ratings as a whole works , which is 4 Stars , with no more or less , and one extra STAR for the DP line - ups before & after this work , for there contribution during 40 years , as far as live concerts , studio albums in making the blues / hard rock fusion in best shape & enjoyable ..............................
