Free Music Notes for Made In Japan: The Remastered Edition
Free Music Review: One of the seven greatest rock albums ever recorded
Hit: 5 Stars
Deep purple live in Japan , I think this title will be obligated reference from here to the eternity. The others albums in my personal view are: Led Zepellin II, Uriah Heep live, How the west was won (Led Zepellin too) , Captain beyond (Capricorne), Allman brothers live from Fillmore, and Jimmy Hendrix`s experience.
What else can one say after listening?. I've gathered with young people, a nephew and several friends of him, and others friends not necessarily rock`s lovers to listen that record (I'm 49) the facial expression is the same: amazing, unbelievable, and other similar adjectives.
This is posible, because there are certain moments in a very special ocassions where you seem sign a kind of statement with yourself and your bliss; a commitment and clarity who goes beyond your own limits. And this thought applies for all the arts.
Bresson , a french filmaker (died in 1999) told once: "When you don`t know what to do , and what you do is the best, that is inspiration".And those days of August 1972 Deep purple was inspired, without any shadow of doubt.
Only I can add this sentence: Deep purple is a rock band inscribed in the inmortality. When you consider rhe sum of these gifted musicians like Ian Gillan,Ian Lord ,Ritchie Blackmore, it`s logical to think that the throne of the rock is for a few. And Deep purple is one of them.
Forever purple !
Free Music Review: The Best hard rock Live Album ever
Hit: 5 Stars
Live albums were a thing to be done by record companies as a cheap extention during a lul before a new studio album.
That was before 'Made in Japan'was released by Deep Purple.
This album is a masterpeice. High on energy, with all songs going faster then the studio versions but longer due to the long and mostly wonderful improvised solo's by Ritchie Blackmore, Jon Lord and Ian paice.
Ian gillan on the vocals is absloultly amazing, though at times you can feel that there is a raspness to the voice.
If you like live rock recordings where the musicians improvise a lot without sounding too self indulgent this is the one for you.
'Made in Japan' started the trend of having live albums as a part of a catalog. Other great rock lives have been released by the band and others like Thin Lizzy, Peter Frampton, Judas priest, Maiden, Motorhead but none of them can match the power and consistancy of this Masterpeice by the greatest LIVE act in Hard Rock history.
The remastered version has an additional CD containing the encore tracks from the three live performances in Osaka and Tokyo.
Put on loud and ENJOY.....
Free Music Review: What hard rock in the 1970s was all about
Hit: 5 Stars
This is the only live document of Mark 2 Deep Purple you'll ever need. The superb improvisational skills of each member of the band are constantly on display; these are long sprawling jams travelling at breakneck speed. I can't even begin to describe how enjoyable this record is to listen to. Sure, these songs are incredibly long but excess was what hard rock in the 1970s was all about. Each band member shines here.
There is one thing about this package that is a little bit confusing, though. Even though I do own the 25th Anniversary Edition, the edition I own contains remastered versions of the studio tracks played here live. I have looked but I can't seem to find it. That's a good thing, however. I felt the studio tracks were somewhat unnecessary and detracted from the whole experience, anyway. Buy this set now, especially because it doesn't have the annoying and somewhat superfluous remastered studio tracks.
What's the long and the short of all this, I hear you ask? It is that no self-respecting hard rock fan or Deep Purple fan should be without this set. 100% classic!
Free Music Review: Andru Reeve Loves This Album!!
Hit: 5 Stars
Anyone who knows me will know me as a rabid fan of Beatlesque pop and '60s rock. Most would be amazed to discover how much I love LOUD rock 'n' roll -- especially from the Golden Age of the 1970s. Deep Purple put out a great many albums thru the years, but the only ones really worth owning are those released from 1968-1975. MADE IN JAPAN is (along with FRAMPTON COMES ALIVE, KISS ALIVE, and GRAND FUNK CAUGHT IN THE ACT) a seminal document of the live concert experience from that era.
Now, one caveat: I, Andru Reeve, was once a recording engineer and live sound mixer in another life. From that experience, I can attest and confirm that this "live" recording (and virtually ALL live albums) features a certain degree of post-concert tinkering. In other words: some of the instruments and vocals have been re-recorded over the original live tracks. So it's a bit of a cheat to call it a "live" album. However, does that change the fact that this remastered CD kicks A$$ ? Nope. It does. Turn it up LOUD.

Free Music Review: MARK 2 LINE UP - MADE IN JAPAN
Hit: 5 Stars
This is the famous line-up of Mark 2; Ian Gillan on vocals, Ritchie Blackmore on guitars, Roger Glover on bass, Jon Lord on keyboards and Ian Paice on the drums.
This is absolutely one of the best recorded live albums for me. Recorded live in Japan in 1972! Just buy the album and listen! If you own it in vinyl (LP) like me, it's better that you own it also in the form of a CD coz it's expanded with extra tracks like Black Night, Speed King and Lucille. These songs didn't appear in the first release of the album and even in the first release of the CD.
This is my third copy of this album already. I've got my first copy in the mid 70s and again in the 80s. Actually in the Philippines it was released as Made in Japan Volume 1 and Volume 2 in separate album.
All songs in the LP Volume 1 and 2 are in one CD only in this edition and the other CD contains the extra tracks from the same Japanese tour in 1972.
