IAN GILLAN On DEEP PURPLE’s Milestone Albums – “To Me In Rock Was The Definitive Breakthrough”

Ian Gillan was interviewed by Spain’s Made In Metal to reflect on the 50th anniversary of Deep Purple’s Machine.

During the chat, Gillan was asked about Purple’s milestone albums and that 1970’s In Rock was the band’s definitive album due to being the first with Gillan on vocals and Roger Glover on bass.

Warner Records and Rhino Entertainment honour Deep Purple's Machine Head, the album which featured “Smoke On The Water”, with a comprehensive version introducing new mixes and previously unreleased live recordings. Machine Head: Super Deluxe Edition available now as a 3CD/LP/Blu-ray and available digitally for streaming and download.

In addition to the newly-remixed original album, which is included on LP and CD, The Super Deluxe Edition also contains two captivating live performances. The first, recorded on March 9, 1972, at the Paris Theatre in London, captures the group’s unrivalled stage presence during the Machine Head Tour. The second, previously unreleased, was recorded in April 1971 at the Montreux Casino in Switzerland, before the events depicted in “Smoke On The Water.”
