Deep Purple - Made In Japan (Original UK Double LP Mastered By George Peckham) (16-bit/44.1kHz)

Made in Japan is a double live album by English rock band Deep Purple, released in December 1972. Later released in April 1973 in the US. It was recorded during their first tour of Japan in August 1972.

The album was recorded live over three nights during 15-17 August 1972 at Kōsei Nenkin Kaikan in Osaka and at Budokan in Tokyo, Japan, hence the name of the album. The tracks mostly come from their studio effort, Machine Head.

The three concerts recorded were later released as Live in Japan 3-CD box set (1993). According to the liner notes for that set, unlike many live albums, there are no overdubs or studio additions to the original album.

The release in the US was delayed because Warner Bros. wanted to release Who Do We Think We Are first.

The remastered anniversary edition, issued in 1998, came with an extra CD of encores played on the tour in Japan and came with the colour scheme of the cover reversed so it had a black cover with gold print. There was also a numbered limted edition purple vinyl release. The stage banter of tracks 1-6 was edited in order to allocate 3 songs a side to Sides 1 and 2 and Space Truckin' was placed on Side 3 in order to allocate The Encores to Side 4.

01 - Highway Star
