DEEP PURPLE's masterpiece was directly digitized from the original records in the best condition using top-of-the-line equipment for professional use, making this a must-listen title for fans! Even if you listen to it and compare it with various albums that are currently officially released, the difference is obvious. With its natural texture, luster, and maximum impact, you can enjoy the true charm of the work. This "original analog reprint series" is a miraculous series. This is a must-listen for not only avid fans who have been listening since the analog era, but also fans who have never experienced analog! After "IN ROCK" and "FIREBALL," the second DEEP PURPLE reached its peak with the historical masterpiece "MACHINE HEAD." Like other masterpieces of the same era, this work has been released numerous times, including in the analog era and even after the CD version, including "anniversary editions" and high-quality material discs. With advances in technology and improved materials, sound quality and reproducibility have certainly improved. However, what is often said about masterpieces from the analog era is the difference in texture between records and the sound sources made since CDs. The difference is especially noticeable in the naturalness and depth and richness of the tone, and many audiophiles still say they prefer analog. Furthermore, there is a strong opinion among enthusiasts that ``the first edition has a higher cutting level, has a sound groove closer to the label, and has better sound.'' In this work, the "best" analog record is played in a professional-class equipment environment and directly digitized! You can easily enjoy sounds that are difficult to obtain and play for ordinary fans over and over again (without worrying about wear and tear!). In this work, the original British LP first press of "MACHINE HEAD" (Purple Label's Gramophone version. Not the EMI version!) is directly converted into a disc. Similar to "IN ROCK" in the same "analog reprint series", this one is also produced from the extremely rare matrix number "M-1" board, which is now extremely difficult to obtain, in a playback environment that can be declared the best. The pleasant mellow tone and thick, rich sound are sure to impress all listeners from the "Highway Star" intro! With this work, you can enjoy the sound that deep PURPLE enthusiasts all over the world crave, ``I want to hear it at least once in my lifetime,'' whenever you want, without having to worry about equipment or record wear. ! The sense of groove centered on exquisite sound placement and balance, the natural acoustics of each part, and the exquisite tone are beyond words. It feels like the parts of the recorded sound are jumping out of the speakers as they are, and the more you listen to it, the more you are drawn into the depth and flavor, which is nothing short of amazing. As mentioned above, the difference is noticeable from the intro of “Highway Star”. The clear outline of the guitar and bass, and the natural sound of the snare drum that appears at the 12th second are already overwhelming. Gilan's lively singing voice pierces through with ease! The grooves in "Mabe I'm A Leo" and "Never Before" are also worth listening to. It's hard to feel comfortable and stylish in this fashionable mood. Particularly wonderful is “Pictures Of Home.” In the intro, where each note is led by Pace's drums, Richie's guitar is at its best. Even people with no audio knowledge or experience should be able to intuit the greatness of this scene. John's Hammond is also wonderful in the middle. His playing, which spreads out into the sound space mainly from the right channel, adds thickness and depth to the entire ensemble (the organ solo at 2:55 is also a must-listen). John's play can be enjoyed with the highest freshness and reproducibility in "Lazy" and "Space Truckin'". The taste created by rich experience, the numerous plays backed by a background of deep knowledge, and the mellow tone that no one else can produce is truly a mature sake. Just listening to "Maestro"'s play makes fans intoxicated! "Smoke On The Water", where "the world's most famous riff" pops out, makes you wonder, "Is this what the real thing sounds like!"? The first half seems to fit into the space one by one, Roger's bass has an unwavering sense of stability and driving dynamism, and Gillan's presence sings powerfully... If you close your eyes and listen, it's like December 1971. , doesn't it remind you of the five members recording at that hotel in Montreux, Switzerland? As is clear even without listening to this, this is not something that can be done with equalization or remastering. Exquisite sound pressure, graininess, and depth. All of them are analog (first press) splendors that cannot be experienced with current CDs. In this sound, even the needle crackling sound that can be heard here and there becomes an expression of the album, and it sounds so sophisticated that it's irresistible! The sound is so good that you can tell the difference from the current CD and past reprints at first listen. Please enjoy this sound that most people have never experienced with this work.
