Deep Purple - Machine Head (180 Gram Vinyl). Comes in a gatefold with poster and lyrics. 's fourth album, 's , and 's have stood the test of time as the Holy Trinity of English hard rock and heavy metal, serving as the fundamental blueprints followed by virtually every heavy rock & roll band since the early '70s. And, though it is probably the least celebrated of the three, contains the "mother of all guitar riffs" -- and one of the first learned by every beginning guitarist -- in "Smoke on the Water." Inspired by real-life events in Montreux, Switzerland, where were recording the album when the Montreux Casino was burned to the ground during a concert, neither the song, nor its timeless riff, should need any further description. However, was anything but a one-trick pony, introducing the bona fide classic opener "Highway Star," which epitomized all of 's intensity and versatility while featuring perhaps the greatest soloing duel ever between guitarist and organist . Also in top form was singer , who crooned and exploded with amazing power and range throughout to establish himself once and for all as one of the finest voices of his generation, bar none. Yes, the plodding shuffle of "Maybe I'm a Leo" shows some signs of age, but punchy singles "Pictures of Home" and "Never Before" remain as vital as ever, displaying at their melodic best. And finally, the spectacular "Space Truckin'" drove home with yet another tremendous riff, providing a fitting conclusion to one of the essential hard rock albums of all time.
