This Rare Japan Vinyl LP is called Machine Head and is the sixth studio album by English rock band Deep Purple. It was recorded in 1971 in Montreux, Switzerland, and released in 1972. It is the band's third album to feature the Mark II line-up of Ritchie Blackmore, Ian Gillan, Roger Glover, Jon Lord, and Ian Paice. This time they used the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio for recording and block-booked the Montreux Casino as a venue, but during a Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention concert immediately before the sessions, the casino burned to the ground after an audience member fired a flare gun into the ceiling. After a week of searching for an alternative venue, including a session at a nearby theatre that was abandoned due to noise complaints, the band managed to book the Grand Hotel, closed for the winter, and converted it into a live room suitable for recording. These events, particularly the casino fire, became the inspiration for the song "Smoke on the Water" Other great songs on here are "Highway Star" , "Maybe I'm a Leo" , "Never Before" , "Lazy" and "Space Truckin'" !

The Cover is in Excellent condition and the Inner Picture/Lyric Inserts are in Very Good Plus condition(see pictures), The vinyl is in Near Mint condition on one side and Excellent condition on the other side(few tiny light sleeve scuffs, but no scratches), Sounds Fantastic !
