Welcome to Long Beach 1971, the latest album in earMUSIC's Deep Purple reissue series that, over the last two years, has seen the release of rare live material from the band, including 'Stockholm 1970', 'Paris 1975' and 'Graz 1975'. It was recorded at Long Beach Arena in Long Beach, California, on July 30, 1971, and was broadcast on radio (KUSE 91.5 FM), a showcase for a support performance to Rod Stewart and The Faces. An official release for a concert that has long been considered a landmark for the band, the set featured tracks ('Speed King' and 'Child In Time') from their fourth studio album, June 1970's Deep Purple 'In Rock'.
