Ep046: The Story of Deep Purple, Machine Head & Smoke On The Water

On December 4, 1971 the worlds of Deep Purple, Frank Zappa and Claude Nobs collided in Montreux Switzerland. What was almost a massive tragedy turned into one of the most popular and enduring songs in the history of rock and roll music. We tell the full story, complete with interviews of Don Preston, keyboard player for The Mothers of Invention. Plus we discuss the upcoming Pink Floyd Box Set "The Early Years, 1965-1972". If you like records, just starting a collection or are an uber-nerd with a house-full of vinyl, this is the podcast for you. Nate Goyer is The Vinyl Guide and discusses all things music and record-related. http://www.thevinylguide.com http://facebook.com/vinylguide https://instagram.com/vinylguide/
