MACHINE HEAD is the sixth studio album by English rock band Deep Purple. It was recorded in December 1971 at Montreux, Switzerland, and released on 25th March 1972 on Purple Records. Deep Purple wanted to dedicate time to record an album away from the typical studio environment, hoping it would result in a sound closer to their live shows. They hired The Rolling Stones Mobile Studio for recording, and block-booked the Montreux Casino as a venue, but during a Frank Zappa concert immediately before the sessions, the casino burned to the ground. After a week of searching for an alternative venue, including a session at a nearby theatre that was abandoned due to noise complaints, the band managed to book the Grand Hotel, closed for the winter, and converted it into a live room suitable for recording. These events, particularly the casino fire, became the inspiration for the song "Smoke On The Water". MACHINE HEAD is Deep Purple's most commercially successful album, topping the charts in several countries, including number one in the UK. Influential in the development of traditional metal, it continues to be viewed favourably by music critics and has been reissued several times. The 40th Anniversary Edition of MACHINE HEAD was released in October 2012 by EMI. This is a five-disc set, accompanied by an illustrated 64 page hardback book.

For the record, MACHINE HEAD is not the perfect Deep Purple album. Both In Rock and Fireball was superior. MACHINE HEAD is, however, the best known Deep Purple album, and that’s why it’s gotten such a grand reissue while the other two have to be content with simple single-disc reissues from the 1990’s. For the 40th Anniversary, there have been a number of reissues made available. First, there is the lovely 180 gram vinyl reissue, which includes a lyric sheet and a bonus 7″ of the first single, “Never Before”/“When A Blind Man Cries”. Then, Peter Mew remixed the 1980 release In Concert ’72 at Abbey Road, which was re-released on purple vinyl. This too came with a bonus 7″ single (also purple), “Lucille” and an unreleased rehearsal of “Maybe I’m A Leo”. Finally, the crown jewel release is the five disc 40th Anniversary Box Set. This includes all the stuff you got with the previous 1997 25th Anniversary Edition, and more. Packed inside is a lush 64 page hardbound book (including Roger Glover’s 1997 liner notes). As an added surprise, even the CDs are printed in PURPLE PLASTIC!! As if all that music wasn’t enough, the book will keep you going for hours with its full-color photos, liner notes and essays. Yes, it can be a bit much, having four versions of one album in a single box set. However it don’t find bored. You know why? It’s because MACHINE HEAD is a great album!!
