A long and long history of DEEP PURPLE that lasts for 48 years. Among them, the "Hidden Treasure of 1972" that they were most shining is appearing on the press CD.

The brilliance of this "1972" was already fierce. If you think that you have released the super-famous board "MACHINE HEAD", you will realize the performance in Japan that will produce "MADE IN JAPAN" and create "WHO DO WE THINK WE ARE!" .... In the course of a few months, he achieved a historic achievement in rapid succession, and in the meantime, he continued to perform intense and terrifying live performances. This work is an audience album that contains "July 14, 1972 West Palm Beach Performance" that tells his truth. This recording has long been known as "a famous recording just before the performance in Japan", and is a master excavated in recent years. It was also very popular as a gift album, but it is one that has undergone the latest and meticulous remastering of its famous recording. Let's take a look at the schedule at that time to see how long it was just before.
