 | | These were lacking even on the triple CD "Live in Japan" Connoisseur Collection album: "Speed King", "Lucille" and "Black Night" (strictly taken, this same version of "Black Night" could already be found on "24 Carat Purple" and Connoisseur's "Singles A's and B's, but this is an extended version with a longer intro). |
 | | Almost 25 years ago to the day, Deep Purple released the legendary "Made in Japan" double live LP, arguably the best live album ever to have been released (which is a bold statement considering albums like Kiss "Alive II", as well as Thin Lizzy's "Live and Dangerous" that I always hear people raving about). |
 | | "Made in Japan" featured Deep Purple on their absolute height that was never again regained. |
