The music should be as far gehends known, so I'm not great on a.
Deep Purple was was concerned at that time on their absolute peak which live performances and studio work. This is also impressively in this live recording test.
Improvisations to the hilt, which is celebrated even in this double LP. 4 LP sides, 4 pieces ... done.
It is also essential that is celebrated extensively in the middle part in "Mandrake Root" of the central part of "Fools". In September of the same year then appeared the LP "Fireball" with this very "Fools".
What I do not like is the blending of the disc.
In "Child In Time" for example, you get the feeling that Ian Gillan with the known cry out in the brain explodes (headphones), but "first legs in front of him" all the instruments in the background somehow undifferentiated. The voice is simply too dominant. Then, when a solo is announced (Jon Lord, or Ritchie Blackmore) is suddenly pushed this instrument extremely to the forefront.
In "Mandrake Root" then there is the further the guitar within one second from the left channel in the middle, and then back to the left "wandering". How is this possible in a live recording? There are also some extreme differences in volume at one and the same instrument. Time Ian Paice's drumming is wonderful to hear (class bass drum play !!), and then "guess" at once again only in the background.
Goger Glover is rarely the bass playing well and differentiated to hear.
I now fall three ways a what could be the:
1. It is by design (rather unlikely)
2. Martin Pullan (Remastered) has no idea or bad ears, or even succumbs to this unspeakable Loudness War (most likely)
3. The starting material is no longer ago (but then where does the jumping guitar?)
The noise floor of the recording is normal, the pressure reasonably ok, but not very good. The LPs were (again) unprotected housed in the paper inner sleeve !! Why do that?
Clear 5 points for the music
Only 2 points for poor mixing and pressing, and packaging of LPs
Unfortunately, 4 points total, more does not
