Beautiful copy of the original 1973 pressing of Deep Purple’s classic double-live LP, Made in Japan, on Warner Brothers 2WS-2701. Original palm tree labels, Warner inner sleeves, and gatefold cover. Features the famous live versions of Smoke on the Water and Space Truckin’, which are more famous than the studio versions. Thoth discs are just gorgeous and play completely flawlessly and just beautifully. There are a couple of light superficial marks but barely. They don’t affect the play at all. Not a single tick or pop or even light crackle anywhere. A beautiful playing copy all the way through. The cover is quite nice as well, with only light ringwear and very minor corner rubbing in spots, but really not much. A beautiful looking and sounding original! Hard to beat.
