Published 21st Aug 2012

As previously reported, Re-machined: A Tribute To Deep Purple's Machine Head, is a brand new tribute album featuring an enormous array of bands covering tracks from the classic 1972 album.

The album features Maiden performing a cover of 'Space Truckin', Joe Bonamassa teaming up with Jimmy Barnes on 'Lazy' and Chickenfoot doing 'Highway Star'.

Here's Metallica doing 'When A Blind Man Cries':

The album is released as a special Classic Rock Magazine Fanpack on 4 September.

As well as the album, you'll get a Deep Purple endorsed 124-page collectors magazine featuring exclusive interviews with Metallica, Maiden, Chickenfoot, Bonamassa and Steve Vai. Deep Purple themselves discuss the making of one of their best-loved releases, and provide access to exclusive and unpublished photos and artefacts from their archive.

The magazine also includes one of the last-ever interviews with keyboard icon Jon Lord, who died earlier last month.
