MACHINE HEAD

The only mistake I made was listening to the Machine Head tracks first on MADE IN JAPAN before I even bought Machine Head - and one gets the impression that the studio wasn't a suitable environment for the real nature of hard and loud rocking tracks DP had in their arsenal in 1972. For me, Machine Head can be rather viewed as a collection of studio-processed blueprints, from which the real powers would be unleashed in their mammoth live versions documented on MADE IN JAPAN. Without any doubts, the ultimate versions of Machine Head are on the latter.
