ABOUT THE RECORD Made in Japan, a double live album by English rock band Deep Purple, was recorded over three nights in August 1972 and brought the band to headliner status in the U.S. and elsewhere, and it remains a landmark in the history of heavy metal music (all.music review). It became an immediate commercial success, particularly in the US, where it was accompanied by the top five hit, Smoke on the Water, and became a steady seller throughout the 1970s. The band were well known for their strong stage act, and had privately recorded several shows, or broadcast them on radio, but were unenthusiastic about recording a live album until their Japanese record company decided it would be good for publicity. They insisted on supervising the live production, including using Martin Birch, who had previously collaborated with the band, as engineer, and were not particularly interested in the album's release, even after recording. The tour was successful, with strong media interest and a positive response from fans. Band member, Jon Lord said, "That double album ... wasn't meant to be released outside of Japan. They wound up putting it out anyway and it went platinum in about two weeks." Made in Japan continues to attract praise. A Rolling Stone readers' poll in 2012 ranked Made in Japan the sixth best live album of all time.
