Deep Purple / Machine Head (1972)

If for nothing else the album holds a place in the pages of history for having a song open not with a guitar solo, not with a drum solo, but with an organ solo. It also has the song with the simplest and most recognizable opening in rock history. Add to that the fact that the other five songs are all five star tracks, everyone a sheer musical masterpiece. A quintessential rock album, beyond the reaches of achievement for any new band post 2000, if you don’t own it, well....

Rating = Sun Record

Sincerely;

T.R.Z. Oswald
