Made in Europe is a live album released by Deep Purple, recorded at the final dates in 1975 in which Ritchie Blackmore was a member of Deep Purple. It was released in 1976 after the group temporarily dissolved. Features recording edited from concerts recorded live 4th April 1975 in Graz, Austria, 5th April 1975 in Saarbrücken, Germany, and 7th April 1975 in Paris with the Rolling Stones Mobile. 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. Additionally, this performance is said to have experienced extensive studio editing and/or overdubbing of crowd noise and applause. Certainly there is a tape-loop of applause, given away by a whistling fan.

Engineered by Mick Mckenna, Tapani and Martin Birch. Mixed by Ian Paice and Martin Birch

This record, which had been out of print in the US for over 20 years, was re-released by Friday Music label on July 31, 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.
