I realize that I have not written anything since I returned from the United States, but the work has taken over. The post with the picture of the album "In Rock Deep Purple, of entering my trip ina USA, would certainly be kept on Mount Rushmore, but I also wanted to allude to the last musical purchase:" Live in Japan " .
Lij is the collection of recordings that led to the publication of the famous "Made in Japan", in my opinion the best live history. Lij is interesting because it gives a precise idea atmosphere of the three evenings Japanese, as the band played in different evenings and choices to include a version of a song rather than another. During the early evening, in fact, Richie Blackmore and Jon Lord sounds really bad is not very inspired. The whole, however, never fails: this is the great strength of the DP live.
For now I could only hear the first of three CDs. The audio edition is edited by Peter Mew, who has already remastered it seems to me almost all the material DP.
Unfortunately the quality is not at the incomparable edition on vinyl (or not remastered) but, unlike the re-release of "Made in Japan", Mew is not overplayed his hand and then the sound is more realistic and less "nasal". MIJ
know by heart, even in minute details for hours and was very fun to hear the same songs presented with small / large changes. The soundstage am always impressed, it feels a great concert, thanks to the kindness of the recovery.
I waited a long time to buy lij, a bit 'dubious by the fact that it did not seem important to a purchase. MIJ is still the best by far, but the cover of Lij is absolutely extraordinary. Incidentally, the photo is the first Japanese edition. It also contains a helpful booklet that says, no big words, the story of those days in August 1972.
