Deep Purple poses next to the Rolling Stones’ Mobile Studio in Montreux, Switzerland, in December 1971, during the “Machine Head” sessions.
Ritchie Blackmore, Roger Glover, Ian Gillan, Ian Paice, and Jon Lord recorded that album following the fire at the Montreux Casino, which occurred during a Frank Zappa concert, the incident that inspired “Smoke on the Water.”

They ended up recording it at various locations around the city, including a hotel that was nearly empty due to the off-season.
"Machine Head" became one of the most influential albums in Rock History.
