Deep Purple - Made In Japan (Steven Wilson 2025 Remix) (1971/2025) Hi-Res

Wilson’s 2025 remix will be included in a 2025 edition of the expanded album. The original expanded edition was released in 2014. This expanded edition is that again with the added Wilson remix.

In 2014, Deep Purple released all three concerts that were used to make up the 1972 release. They were the 15 and 16 August 1972 concerts in Osaka and the 17 August 1972 concert from Tokyo. A fourth disc featured the encores from the three shows.

The charm of the 2014 reissue was the inclusion of the banter between the songs, not included on the original 1972 album.

“We came halfway around the world and found the audience singing every word. It was magical,” Roger Glover said of the album.

‘Made In Japan’ arrived in 1972 between ‘Machine Head’ released that same year and ‘Who Do We Think We Are’, released in 1973. The lead song from the 1973 album was ‘Woman From Tokyo’, written as a tribute to Japan. Deep Purple were one of the first western rock bands to perform in Japan.

Fun fact: Deep Purple rarely performed ‘Woman from Tokyo’ until 1985 when it became a staple of the setlist until 2016 but has not been performed since. Another classic ‘Child In Time’, which was performed in Japan, has not been performed by Deep Purple since 2002. Both songs feature singer Ian Gillan screams which he can no longer vocally reach.
