Home of "Smoke on the Water" and "Highway Star," Machine Head blends proto-metal density with epic arrangements, resulting in a record that's far more grandiose than the sum of its parts. --Jon Wiederhorn

It arrives to South America in exactly one month, in excellent conditions. I really like this product and the lyrics poster, but I hope the product’s arrival time improve. As you see, the whole package were 4 LP’s.

Nothing to dislike. 6th album '71 leading up to the live Made in Japan. Smoke on the Water is still heard on the FM and Spotfly circuit.

I really like this CD....Disc 1 has the Remastered Versions and Disc 2 has the Remixed versions which are clearer than the original versions.....It was packed good and received it earlier than expected. I would buy from this seller again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Machine Head 2-CD Set
Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2012

MACHINE HEAD breathes the rarefied air of being among the best that classic rock has to offer any generation since Elvis.

Besides standing the test of time, 98% of Deep Purple fans agree it's the finest album featuring Glover, Gillan, Paice, Lord & Blackmore. Even Glover, Gillan, Paice, Lord & Blackmore think it's their best. Considering where MACHINE HEAD was recorded and how little time Purple had to write and record it, it should've sounded awful and been rife with lackluster songwriting and half-baked musical ideas. The finished product sounded so good the only surprise was the band never again tried recording in a hallway in the Grand Hotel. In 1972 Glover, Gillan, Paice, Lord & Blackmore were the cutting edge of hard rock musicianship, revered as virtuosos in the Zeppelin weight class. I'll take the Pepsi challenge and put MACHINE HEAD up against any Led Zep album any day of the week. I won't say that about any other Deep Purple album except putting the unedited, unfixed MADE IN JAPAN up against the heavily-doctored THE SONG REMAINS THE SAME.

The way Purple constructed the songs on this is brilliant. Hearing the ingenious way Lord and Blackmore comp behind one another while the other solos is a wonderful give-and-take between them AND when they really light it up and play the same lines at the same time they sound like one guy. Paice's hyper drumming propels the front line on, aided and abetted with Glover's frenetic but clever bass work. Gillan has to put a face on all this and does so with aplomb by singing often humorous and self-deprecating lyrics, i.e. the character delusional with loneliness asking an empty room "where have they hidden my throne." The vocalist seldom essays his patented shrieking in key here, until the last song 'Space Truckin' when he gives it his best, better than 'Child In Time' I'd hazard to say.

The magic of MACHINE HEAD is the way the band performed the material. Purple's listeners are presented with five superb musicians playing in the most relaxed fashion, almost to the point of nonchalance; the band is a hot rod capable of cruising at 160 mph BUT they idle along at 90. An example would be comparing Purp's 'Highway Star' to Zep's 'Achilles Last Stand.' Both are ferocious rock songs: Zeppelin sounds like they're giving it all they've got, like it's the last chance they'll ever get to play; Purple burns just as hard but they've got rocket fuel to spare, like they're just getting warmed up. They could've ripped MACHINE HEAD's music to shreds but they didn't. What the listeners are left with is a feeling of understated majesty, a restrained power so casual it belies how smokin' every tune on the album is.

The mix is ultra clean, you feel like you're standing in the middle of them in that cold hallway while they're laying down each track. I was particularly interested in Roger Glover's remixes. They're good, the highlight being the alternate guitar overdubs on three or four of the seven songs. But truth be told MACHINE HEAD is such a classic that I still prefer the remastered originals over Glover's remixes. Purple and Martin Birch chose the best takes forty years ago, but the remixes are a lot of fun to listen to. The inclusion of 'When A Blind Man Cries" recorded at the original sessions is a nice but unnecessary bonus; I can hear why Blackmore didn't like it and why it was only released as a B-side instead of on the album. It might even have spoiled the classic-ness of one of rock's brightest great moments.

5.0 out of 5 stars Soddisfatto
Reviewed in Italy on March 22, 2024

Disco arrivato in largo anticipo. Non sto qui a valutare il lato artistico dell' album, ma quello tecnico, ossia il supporto SACD. A mio modesto avviso l'audio stereo del vinile non fa rimpiangere eccessivamente l'audio multicanale di questo supporto . Tuttavia il prezzo a cui l'ho acquistato è di gran lunga inferiore a quello di un vinile nuovo, quindi alla fine ne è valsa la pena. Ci sono anche 3 tracce extra rispetto al vinile, quindi ottimo. Però ripeto, questo capolavoro dei Deep purple si gusta benissimo anche con un vinile.
