Machine Head is the classic studio album released by Deep Purple.
It was recorded through December 1971 in Montreux, Switzerland, and released in March 1972.
Machine Head is often cited as hugely influential in the development of the heavy metal and progressive rock music genres.
It is by far Deep Purple s most successful recording, topping the charts in several countries following its release.
The album reached 1 in the United Kingdom, where it stayed for 20 weeks in the top-40, and 7 in the United States, remaining on the Billboard 200 for 118 weeks.
Machine Head contains classical and blues influences.
Blackmore confirmed that the chord progression for the solos in Highway Star was inspired by the work of 18th-century composer Johann Sebastian Bach.
The song was actually composed by Blackmore and Gillan at the start of the Fireball gigs on a bus travelling to Portsmouth Guild Hall, in response to a question from a member of the press as to how the band created their material.
Machine Head hit the number one spot on the British charts within seven days of its release, remaining there for two weeks before returning in May for a further week.
In the US, the album reached number seven, remaining in the charts for two years.
Allmusic critic Eduardo Rivadavia called Machine Head one of the essential hard rock albums of all time.
ALBUM PLAYED FOR AUDIO GRADING: This great record plays up to the visual and audio grading and beyond, with stunning clear sound from this original press vinyl.
Fantastic sound quality throughout with barely any detectable static and no pops or clicks Machine Head is a complex and varied collection of music, and is also a relatively sensitive piece of vinyl, and hard to find in clear audio condition.
Worn copies can have a lot of surface sound even on musically complex and busy tracks like Lazy.
This pressing has strong undistorted audio, with Super clear QUALITY sound.
Superb sound, every track has been tested and I could find no obvious sound blemishes.
Some light occasional static only, and it is light and very occasional.
Wonderful TOP audio, there is NO distortion, NO sticks or jumps what so ever, and virtual silence between the tracks.
There is certainly no dominant interference, and NO loud pops or clicks or Distortion anywhere.
It really sounds great and plays with great sound separation and clarity This vinyl is an absolute gem A super clear pressing of Machine Head.
Great music with great clarity, and so hard to find with this type of sound.
The music jumps out, with definition and clarity.
I ll give a detailed account below: Beginning with the iconic Highway Star , the music comes in with crystal clear audio, no pops or clicks and extremely clean run ins.
Moving into the wonderful Maybe I m a Leo , which demonstrates Deep Purple s incredible subtle production layering, with notes and effects that are usually lost on most even relatively played vinyls.
Here the audio sings out with amazing clarity.
Simply astounding audio.
Pictures of Home , a real test on this album due to its many layered sections sings out with barely any static in the run ins and quiet areas.
Great music with great clarity, and so hard to find with this type of sound.

In fact I may as well confirm now that there is not a hint of distortion anywhere on this great vinyl.
The music is largely flawless.
The massive Never Before plays with crystal clear sound, and the long instrumental section layered again, sounds great.
Superb clear bright sound, which maintains the extremely high standard of this vinyl.
Side 2.

Just amazing bright clear audio.
Lazy , another massive track also sings out, with great clarity and an amazing lack of surface sound.
Another track often blighted with loud pops, clicks, buzzing crackle and distortion, but not here.
The quiet intro plays superbly.
When the vocals come in the quiet areas are incredibly clear.
Space Truckin sounds just superb, it just sounds so clear.
All the way through every track plays with incredible definition.
