Made in Europe

Made in Europe features songs recorded in concert on 4 April in Graz, Austria, 5 April in Saarbrücken, Germany, and 7 April 1975 at Palais des Sports in Paris, France with the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio. According to the liner notes included on Mk III: The Final Concerts, though, the material featured on Made in Europe came, for the most part, from the Saarbrücken show.{{Cite web|url=http://www.thehighwaystar.com/specials/collinslive/#1975|title = Deep Purple live albums}} The album is said to have experienced extensive studio editing and/or overdubbing of crowd noise and applause.{{citation needed|date=April 2013}} Certainly there is a tape-loop of applause, given away by a whistling fan during the last recording of Stormbringer.{{Original research inline|date=April 2013}}

The songs featured on the album are from Deep Purple's Burn and Stormbringer albums.

In 1990, the album was remastered and re-released in the US by Metal Blade Records with distribution by Warner Bros.

This record, which had been out of print in the US, was re-released by Friday Music label on 31 July 2007 (along with Stormbringer and Come Taste the Band). While the label's website claims that the album has been digitally remastered, it is unclear which tapes were used as a source for this release.

The Graz and Paris concerts, of which some of the content for this release is sourced, have been released in full (for unexplained reasons, the drum solo from the Graz concert is missing) by Deep Purple (Overseas) Limited and Ear Music.{{Cite web|url=https://www.amazon.com/Graz-1975-Deep-Purple/dp/B00MIWRC1S|title=Deep Purple – Live in Graz 1975|website=Amazon|access-date=10 January 2017}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.amazon.com/Paris-1975-DEEP-PURPLE/dp/B00LPP9WZ8/|title=DEEP PURPLE – Paris 1975|website=Amazon}}

In 2014, a "super deluxe" boxset of the album was announced, promising to contain the entire Saarbrücken show for the first time, as well as a new MK 3 documentary movie. However, as of July 2023, no news or updates have been made about its release.{{Cite web|url=http://www.superdeluxeedition.com/news/deep-purple-made-in-europe-box/|title = Deep Purple / "Made in Europe" box – SuperDeluxeEdition}}
