Japanese only K2 HD remastered pressing packaged in a paper sleeve. Victor. 2008.
I bought this as an expected upgrade for a vinyl copy that I've had for years. I wasted my money for the most part. While the set is tight and the content of this album include some of the most amazing playing by the MK II line up of Deep Purple, the mastering for digital is horrible. Every instrument is a separate entity removed the other 4 band members. Instruments sound flat. As I've stated, I own the vinyl version of this album released in the early 80's. On that recording, the band sound like a single unit. Each instrument is overlayed perfectly. All players working to weave together the ultimate sonic tapestry. Blackmore and Lord interplay masterfully. Each let the other solo, within the excess that made Deep Purple the ultimate jam session band. What's great, though, is the mix. Each solo instrument comes out of nowhere. Each rhythm instrument holds a steady place and binding the solos together. The vinyl version deserves 5 stars just for the version of Lazy. On vinyl, the recording of Lazy maybe the best live version of anything ever recorded. Anything! It is incredible. For those true collectors of excellent recordings, you should look for the 2 LP recording. While finding a vinyl recording of this release may be almost impossible late in the 90's, this is worth the search. While this recording offers some bonus tracks not included in the vinyl release, it ultimately fails. This recording deserves better. I'd love to see it remastered. Remastered to sound like the LP. That, with the bonus track would allow me to give it the 5 stars, this recording deserves.
