Machine Head (album)
I want to introduct something about Anti Skid Button Flooring. Provide safe skid free environment with colour& style Where good traction and long wearability are important the poly anti-skid is the ideal flooring manufactured with premier’s multi-layer technology. The super tough vinyl wear abrasion layer at the top is deeply embossed and retains color& wear far longer than any rubber and single ply sheet floorings. Poly antiskid is highly suited for handling heavy traffic with extra grip for walking/movement. It is designed for a long life with high wear and tear resistance

Machine Head is the sixth Deep Purple studio album. It was recorded at the Grand Hotel Montreux, Switzerland in December 1971 with the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio, and released in March 1972.
The album is often cited as being very influential in the development of the heavy metal music genre. It is Deep Purple’s most successful recording, topping the charts in several countries following its release. In 2001 Q magazine named it as one of the 50 Heaviest Albums of All Time.
Machine Head is the subject of one of the Classic Albums series of documentaries about the making of famous albums. Machine Head was released on the multichannel formats Super Audio CD (2003) and DVD-Audio (2001).
Original Recording
The conditions in which the original recordings were made are quite outstanding. Hiring the Rolling Stones Mobile One equipment and studios, the band recorded the entirety of the tracks in a Montreux hotel facility, with no overdubs. The “Smoke on the Water” lyrics’ citation “Frank Zappa and the Mothers” refers to Zappa’s show at a nearby casino. The casino burned down a few days before the start of scheduled Machine Head recording sessions.
A song entitled “When a Blind Man Cries” was recorded during these sessions, but not included on the album. Instead, it was used as a the B-side on the “Never Before” single. The song appears as a bonus track on the album’s 25th anniversary edition.
The supporting tour for Machine Head included a trip to Japan that would later become the double-live Made in Japan album.
