Bbc In The Flesh

Live On The BBC is a 2004 hybrid CD by British hard rock band Deep Purple. Remastered by Steve Hoffman for Audio Fidelity and released on 20 January, 2004, this is a rip of the CD (redbook) layer, so it omits the bonus track on the SACD layer, "Lucille".

First recorded in 1972 for the BBC, Deep Purple in concert was not released until 1980 and what a release! This is Deep Purple at the top of their game. To make this collection even more spectacular, two of Deep Purple's biggest hits have been added as bonus tracks. In 1968, Hush hit the American charts and climbed to #4. In 1969, River Deep Mountain High reached #53 on the Billboard charts. On River Deep Mountain High the band remained faithful to Phil Spector’s "wall of sound".

Shortly after my father died the phone started ringing. My father was Hugh Everett III. When he was 24 he wrote a ground-breaking thesis about physics most commonly known as "the many worlds theory". It challenged the accepted notion of how the world works in such a huge way, stating that there were actually countless versions of ourselves splitting off and going through as many different scenarios as you could imagine, and the physics powers that be (Albert Einstein, Niels Bohr) were having none of this.

Composer Michael Hersch releases two works featuring his frequent collaborator soprano Ah Young Hong: cortex and ankle with Dutch based Ensemble Klang and the script of storms with the BBC Symphony Orchestra and conductor Tito Muñoz. Hersch sets powerful texts by Christopher Middleton and Fawzi Karim respectively in these gripping works.

Recorded by the BBC on March 9, 1972, this previously difficult to find live show captures the classic Mark II version of Deep Purple in all their incendiary power. This performance – basically the entirety of the then just released Machine Head minus "Pictures of Home" - is easily as good, and at times better than, Made in Japan, recorded five months later.
