Deep Purple/London,UK 1970 & 1972

“BBC IN” is a recording of DEEP PURPLE’s live performances at London’s “Paris Theater” on February 19, 1970, just before they released “IN ROCK,” and on March 9, 1972, just after they made “MACHINE HEAD.” The broadcast sound source of “DEEP PURPLE IN CONCERT” was made official under the title “DEEP PURPLE IN CONCERT” and has been re-released repeatedly up until recent years, making it a work that fans have been familiar with for a long time. Since this sound source was made official, materials using the old air check sound source have been completely wiped out, but this work, released in 2004 as a “collector’s item” for the first time in a while, is in excellent condition. This is a “super official edition” based on the two original editions of BBC transcription discs, and the spectacular live performance, which is reproduced with a completely different texture from the official CD, will be enjoyed by old fans who are picky about the sound. It was also received with rave reviews and praise. As evidenced by JEFF BECK and THIN LIZZY’s items, the sound quality of the original BBC recording is overwhelming, and the mixed power of the middle part of ’70’s ​​”Speed ​​King” and “Wring That Neck” are impressive. When you compare the intro with the official version, its brimming power and punching power have a weight and texture on a completely different level. The natural sound of the organ played by Jon Lord is infinitely rich, and Richie’s guitar is full of a sense of existence that seems to explode before your eyes. Of course, even in ’72, the difference in sound is obvious…or rather, the original used in this work has a higher quality sound than can be compared, and the difference in power is obvious. Ian Paice’s three-dimensional drum sound in the intro to “Highway Star” and Roger Glover’s driving bass line in “Never Before” have a different feel from the official sounds that you are used to hearing, and they come to mind vividly. Masu. Ian Gillan’s frantic screams and singing during the last song “Lucille” will make everyone who listens to it flinch. The warm, natural texture, deep, and warm comfort that only these analog master discs can provide will surprise those who have never experienced it. This overwhelming live performance is the real awesomeness of the second PURPLE live in the early ’70s, which became a legend among fans around the world! (In addition, the official CD format since it was re-released as a “full-length version” more than 10 years ago includes “Child In Time” in 1970, “Smoke On The Water” in 1972, and “Maybe I’m A Leo”, the songs have been changed considerably, but in this BBC original version, the set is arranged in the correct performance order) The BBC transcription disc itself is still available today (although it is very rare) However, it is possible to obtain it. However, most of these materials are severely damaged due to having passed through many collectors, and it is no exaggeration to say that master discs that do not even have the sound of a needle crackle are already impossible to obtain at the general collector level. Even if a disc in good condition is to be played, many fans may hesitate to drop the needle when considering the strain on the disc. With this work, you don’t have to consider such negative elements, and you can enjoy this elegant and delicious tone at its best whenever you like! A musical work only has value when it can be played for the people who want to listen to it. The revival of this work is definitely good news for those who own transcription discs but were unable to listen to them due to fear of deterioration, as well as beginners who are about to step into the profound world of collectors. The material and mastering of the official CD will change, and the further it deviates from the original, the more its value will increase!
