Maybe I'm A Leo
"Maybe I'm a Leo" is a song by the British rock group Deep Purple, from their 1972 album ''Machine Head''. History Roger Glover says: "I wrote the riff to "Maybe I’m a Leo" after hearing John Lennon's " How Do You Sleep?". I liked the idea that the riff didn't start on the down beat, like 99% of riffs do. Most of the songs on ''Machine Head'' were from the first take, or not long after." Singer Ian Gillan is a Leo (born 19 August), the only group member at the time with that astrological sign. The song was rarely played by the band live; however, three live recordings of it have been released on albums: '' Deep Purple in Concert'', recorded in 1972; ''Live at the Olympia '96''; and '' Live at Montreux 2011''. The SACD version of ''Machine Head'' has an alternative guitar solo on "Maybe I'm a Leo".

It was developed jointly by Sony and Philips Electronics and intended to be the successor to the Compact Disc (CD) format. The SACD format allows multiple audio channels (i.e. surround sound or multichannel sound). It also provides a higher bit rate and longer playing time than a conventional CD.

History The Super Audio CD format was introduced in 1999, and is defined by the ''Scarlet Book'' standard document.
