"Machine Head" by Deep Purple is a legendary LP that has left an indelible mark on the history of rock music. Released in 1972, this album features iconic tracks such as "Smoke on the Water," "Highway Star," and "Space Truckin'," which have become staples of classic rock radio worldwide. The record showcases Deep Purple at their creative peak, blending hard rock riffs with virtuosic musicianship and powerful vocals. Rhino, the manufacturer behind this release, is renowned for its high-quality reissues and dedication to preserving musical heritage. With meticulous attention to detail in sound quality and packaging, Rhino ensures that every pressing meets audiophile standards. Deep Purple themselves are pioneers of heavy metal and hard rock; formed in 1968, they have sold over 100 million albums globally and were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2016. Their influence can be heard across generations of musicians.
Widely held to be Deep Purple's central, classic album, it's true that Machine Head is a tour de force. Less experimental than In Rock, more focused than Fireball, it was hard rock at its best. It had everything: pounding drums, power chords and piercing guitar solos, organ solos, insistent, intriguing bass, screaming but musical vocals.
