According to DEEP PURPLE fan-site The Highway Star, DEEP PURPLE’s Made In Japan concerts were filmed. At least in part. Seven reels of silent 8mm footage filmed at Deep Purple’s famous August 1972 Japanese concerts have been found. Rumours of such film have persisted for years, and now their existence has been verified. Audio recordings of these three concerts formed the basis of the Made In Japan album released in 1973 and the Live In Japan 3CD released in 1993.
