Sacd Deep Purple

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.

Released in 1972, Deep Purple's best-selling album remains a landmark hard rock recording. The album hit #1 in the UK and #7 in the US and was eventually certified Double Platinum. Along with Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath, Deep Purple - particularly Machine Head - paved the way for countless progressive rock bands who followed in their wake.

Sarah Lois Vaughan was an American jazz singer. She has been described by music critic Scott Yanow as having "one of the most wondrous voices of the 20th century". Nicknamed "Sassy" and "The Divine One", Vaughan was a four-time Grammy Award winner, including a "Lifetime Achievement Award". The National Endowment for the Arts bestowed upon her its "highest honor in jazz", the NEA Jazz Masters Award, in 1989. Recordings of Sarah Vaughan were inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame, which is a special Grammy award established in 1973 to honor recordings that are at least twenty-five years old, and have "qualitative or historical significance".

Rainbow (also known as Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow or Blackmore's Rainbow) are a British rock band led by guitarist Ritchie Blackmore, active from 1975 until 1984, 1993 until 1997, and 2015 until present. They were originally established with Ronnie James Dio's American rock band Elf, but after their first album, Blackmore fired the backing members and continued with Dio until 1979. The band's early work primarily featured mystical lyrics with a neoclassical metal style, then went in a more pop-rock oriented direction following Dio's departure from the group.

According to Eugene Chadbourne of AllMusic, "Gianni Basso was one of the lights who began shining on the European jazz scene following the end of World War II". He began as a clarinetist before switching to saxophone, and became a renowned Italian jazz tenor saxophonist influenced by Stan Getz. A native of Italy, Renato Sellani has fast become one of the most popular jazz pianists in Europe. Japanese producer Tetsuo Hara discovered him and has recorded him regularly for his Venus label.
