Deep Purple/UK 1971

This live was recorded as “Birmingham performance on February 12, 1971”. Although there have been previous recordings of poor quality, this masterpiece has become a hot topic due to the discovery of master quality of a completely different dimension. Unfortunately, the opening “Speed ​​King” is not included, as is the case with previous releases, but the sound is wonderful, combining reality and vintage feeling. What’s amazing is the direct feeling and power of the musical sound itself. The power of the musical tones is on full display, and the performance and singing dominate everything to the point that you forget that this is an audience recording. There are some points where you feel like you’re inputting too much, but that also seems to add to the impact. In other words, it has a nuance like the studio version “IN ROCK”. The performance of the “1971 model” hits with such powerful and clear sound. February 1971 was the production period for “FIREBALL,” and in the opening song “Strage Kind Of Woman,” you can also listen to the MC saying, “This is a single I just recorded two weeks ago.” At such a timing, the “1971 model” was right in the middle between 1970 and 1972. The biggest charm of the second DEEP PURPLE is the rich and thrilling exchange of improvisations, but that charm has diminished over the years (1972’s “MADE IN JAPAN” was a major performance). I think the reason I was able to do so was because of the nervousness of being in a foreign country like Japan for the first time.) However, even though this “1971 model” has deepened their communication with each other, it still maintains the thrill of 1970. Moreover, as seen in the new song “Strage Kind Of Woman”, it is a performance that is full of creativity that is creating a new rock anthem. Speaking of the second period, the official “LIVE IN STOCKHOLM 1970” and “MADE IN JAPAN” reign as the two major peaks, but the deeper you dig, the more you get stuck in “in between”. This work is one that is packed with plenty of that charm. The “DAGENHAM ROUNDHOUSE 1972” excavated this time also contained two types of performances “in between”, “Autumn 1971” and “Early 1972”. This work is also between the two types. This is a precious period in DEEP PURPLE’s history, where its evolution is deepening day by day. This is a valuable recording that allows you to enjoy the progress with clear sound. Live at Town Hall, Birmingham, UK 12th February 1971 TRULY AMAZING SOUND 1. Strange Kind Of Woman 2.
