Deep Purple - Made In Japan

Deep Purple — Made In Japan

Limited edition Steven Wilson remix on gatefold 2LP

2025 remix of the classic live album, by Steven Wilson (Porcupine Tree, Blackfield, Storm Corrosion)

On August 15, 1972, Deep Purple took the stage in Japan for the first of three shows that would give rise to one of rock's most celebrated live albums, Made In Japan.

Singer Ian Gillan, guitarist Ritchie Blackmore, keyboardist Jon Lord, bassist Roger Glover, and drummer Ian Paice-Deep Purple's famed Mk II lineup — turned studio staples like "Smoke On The Water," "Highway Star," and "Space Truckin'" into explosive live statements. "We came halfway around the world and found the audience singing every word. It was magical," Glover recalls. 

Made In Japan captures Deep Purple at full throttle, powering through songs from their then-new album Machine Head, along with fan favorites such as "Child In Time," and "Strange Kind Of Woman."
