Deep Purple 'Machine Head' LP Black Vinyl

Deep Purple ‘Machine Head’ is an LP on black vinyl. The sixth studio album by the English rock band, it was recorded in December 1971 in Montreux, Switzerland and released on 25 March 1972 on Purple Records.

Recording took place using the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio, with plans to use the Montreux Casino before it burned down during a Frank Zappa concert immediately prior to the sessions. The band then booked the Grand Hotel, closed for the winter, and converted it into a live room. These events became the inspiration for the song "Smoke On The Water".
