Produktbeschreibungen
Das klanglich wohl beste Werk des Deep Purple Mk. II Lineups ist diese Aufnahme aus dem Jahr 1972. Die BBC nahm mit erfahrenen Tontechnikern die Band auf einem 8-Kanal-Band auf und das Paris Cinema in London bebte. Es ergab sich der Klang den "Live in Japan" nie hatte und unerklärlicherweise wurde die Aufnahme zwar im Radio gesendet, doch veröffentlichte die BBC den Mitschnitt erst 1980, als die Band in dieser Zusammensetzung schon nicht mehr existierte.

Die Trackliste besteht im Prinzip aus dem kurz zuvor eingespielten Album "Machine Head" und Audio Fidelity fügte als Bonus Tracks noch die Songs Hush und River Deep Mountain High aus früheren US-Veröffentlichungen bei. Leider reichte die gesamte Spielzeit der CD-Schicht nicht mehr um auch das Little Richard Cover "Lucille" noch unterzubringen. Besitzer eines SACD-Spielers finden diesen Titel am Ende des Live Concertes wo er als Zugabe gespielt wurde. Wer glaubt Made in Japan wäre etwas ganz besonderes, der sollte sich anhören was die Band für den BBC vom Stapel ließ.

First recorded in 1972 for the BBC, Deep Purple in concert was not released until 1980 and what a release! This is Deep Purple at the top of their game. To make this collection even more spectacular, two of Deep Purple's biggest hits have been added as bonus tracks. In 1968, Hush hit the American charts and climbed to #4. In 1969, River Deep Mountain High reached #53 on the Billboard charts. On River Deep Mountain High the band remained faithful to Phil Spector’s "wall of sound".

Deep Purple Live On The BBC is effectively the album Machine Head live, with six out of seven tracks from that album, followed by an encore of Little Richard’s rock and roll standard "Lucille".

Deep Purple Live On The BBC also features Deep Purple's classic Smoke On The Water. Put it all together and you have a one-of-a-kind collection…
Review
by Hal Horowitz

Recorded by the BBC on March 9, 1972, this previously difficult to find live show captures the classic Mark ll version of Deep Purple in all their incendiary power. This performance -- basically the entirety of the then just released Machine Head minus "Pictures of Home" -- is easily as good, and at times better than, Made in Japan, recorded five months later. The band apparently felt the Japan tapes were of inferior quality, and initially did not want them released, which makes this arguably the most potent document of the group's live show from that year. Although this SACD hybrid adds studio versions of "Hush" and "River Deep Mountain High" from the Mark l edition to flesh out the playing time, one of the live tracks, their version of Little Richard's "Lucille," is only available on the SACD layer. That means that anyone without an SACD player won't be able to hear it, but will be able to play the two studio tracks, a perplexing decision that is unexplained in the liner notes. In any event, the live BBC tapes find Purple slamming through these songs like they had something to prove. Although "Child in Time" is MIA, it is replaced by "Maybe I'm a Leo" and "Never Before," two tracks that didn't make the Japan set list. Even without those additions, this is a find for all Deep Purple fans, and a great place for all classic rock fans to jump in. Since this release is from an audiophile label, great care was spent making sure the sound is as crisp as possible from tapes this old, and the work has paid off. Those with SACD equipment get to hear "Lucille" and also experience the band in a wider soundscape, making the performance even more lifelike.
