On this day in music history - Machine Head, by Deep Purple (1972)


Machine Head

by Deep Purple,

was released on March 25, 1972.


Machine Head is one of my favorite albums and the very first album I ever purchased.

Best lineup ever - Jon Lord, Ritchie Blackmore, Ian Gillan, Roger Glover, and Ian Paice.

Great songs from a great band.
