Originally recorded during Deep Purple’s first tour of Japan in August 1972, Made In Japan is widely regarded as one of the greatest live rock albums of all time. This 2014 reissue is remastered from the original analogue stereo master tapes and pressed on heavyweight 180-gram vinyl, housed in a deluxe gatefold sleeve. The audio was cut at Abbey Road Studios, preserving the raw energy and sonic power of the original performances.

Captured over three nights in Osaka and Tokyo, the album features definitive live versions of Deep Purple classics including “Highway Star,” “Smoke On The Water,” and “Child In Time.” The band’s legendary Mark II lineup—Ritchie Blackmore, Ian Gillan, Roger Glover, Jon Lord, and Ian Paice—is in peak form, delivering extended improvisations and explosive musicianship.
