Deep Purple announces newly remixed version of “Made in Japan”
On August 15, 1972, the lauded Mk2 lineup of Deep Purple featuring Ian Gillan, Ritchie Blackmore, Roger Glover, Jon Lord & Ian Paice took the stage in Japan for the first of three shows that would give rise to one of rock’s most celebrated live albums, ‘Made in Japan.’ Today, Deep Purple announces a new Super Deluxe Edition of the landmark release, due out August 15—exactly 53 years after the first performance was recorded. ‘Made in Japan (Super Deluxe Edition)’ features new stereo and Dolby ATMOS mixes of the original live recording by acclaimed producer Steven Wilson, alongside all three concerts newly remixed by Richard Digby Smith, and several rare single edits.
Wilson harnesses the raw energy of the original tapes in his new stereo and Atmos mixes.
It’s all completely as it happened on the night. The album has a power and sense of abandon that they never quite captured in the studio. Hopefully this new mix makes it feel even more like you’re there.
Available now to pre-order in the official Deep Purple store as a 10LP vinyl boxed set, a 5CD + Blu-ray boxed set, or a standalone 2LP gatefold (2LP released October 3rd in US, Canada and Japan).
There is also a new Made In Japan merchandise collection and music bundles available to shop at the Official Deep Purple Store.
