Doing a 180: Deep Purple, IN CONCERT ‘72

Rhino has made it a point to reissue classic albums on 180-gram vinyl on a regular basis. This is the latest to get that treatment. You’re welcome.

In 2014, Rhino released Deep Purple’s IN CONCERT ‘72, and when we did so, here’s how we explained its existence:

“This particular concert took place at London’s Paris Theater on March 9, 1972, but it was originally paired with another performance from February 19, 1970, and released under the less specific title DEEP PURPLE IN CONCERT. Both shows were recorded by the BBC, which is how the ’72 show ended up getting its own release in 2004 under the title LIVE ON THE BBC, but in 2012, that show received another reissue – this time with a new remix – and was released under its current title, IN CONCERT ‘72, and with the running order of the performance actually matching the original set list for the first time. “

At the time, we only issued IN CONCERT ’72 digitally and on CD, but now we’ve given it the 180-gram vinyl treatment, and – even better – this vinyl version includes a bonus 7” as well. It’s as classic as Deep Purple performances get, and now it sounds better than ever.
