this album is a timeless classic from 1972, the remastering on this 2013 papersleeve is fantastic, as most people know there is not a bad song on this album, this was the album that broke deep purple in america and pretty much the rest of the world. the classic never ending on radio SMOKE ON THE WATER is featured on this album along with every other great song, this album brought deep purple to japan for the first time and as a result of that we got the monster made in japan live album from later in 1972, regardless this album was recorded on a whim in switzerland and at the time of these recording sessions frank zappa and the mothers where recording right near deep purple in the same studio, some stupid with a flare gun burnt the whole place down ( that must have been a member of zappas crew) and now some nearly 42 years later I STILL HEAR THAT SONG ABOUT IT SMOKE ON THE WATER EVERYDAY!!!!!!, smoke on the water was written about that incident as deep purple where out of songs and trying to come up with a new one in the studio to fill the album up so there you go, one of the most famous songs in rock n roll history was written about a fire as it happened. anyway i dont think there is a deep purple fan in the world that does not know this story or know this song, the rest of this record is great!!!!! its a hard rock classic it is as important to hard rock as led zeppelin 2 was............ the original japan lp replication is awesome!!!!

Customer Reviews
This cd sound full and open. I feel like today is the first time I have ever really heard this album. Simple Amazing. I also have the Rhino 2 disc remastered/remixed version and I feel the Japanese SHM to be superior.
I have the Rhino special edition of this album, and I find that one to have more treble and separation of instruments, especially the guitar. When I compare the the SHM CD release to the Rhino version, I find the former to sound a bit muddy. This may merely be a matter of preference, as the mid-range and bass does seem more pronounced in this latest release, whereas I prefer less midrange and more treble. Still, that's my only complaint, as overall the SHM cd is a decent re-issue and the cardboard sleeve has been reproduced nicely.
