That track wasn't on the original 1972 release.

Goodness knows why not, it is a great track.

I originally had this on vinyl and 8 track for the car I owned back then.

Yes indeed.

I try to stick to original release years in my Plex collection metadata even if I have the CD release or reissue/remaster which came out with some bonus track(s) years later. With few exceptions where the reissue is just more different then similar...

Maybe one day I go on a mission to clean that up but as I'm currently not chasing having multiple releases of the same album it feels the right thing for me.

I have always loved this song from the very first time I heard it and often consider it even as DPs best (but OK many depending on mood to pick from).

It was released as the B-side of the single "Never Before" and wiki tells me Blackmore didn't like it and therefore for instance it was never played live. Guess it got omitted due to that as well?
 
FLAC from my original vinyl bought on release in 1974 - a great year btw.

I think it's great when the music presented here is linked via YouTube, then it's easy to hear whether you might like the music in general. Then you can still search for it on your favorite music service, in my case Amazon Unlimited and Soundcloud. ->
 
I've never been so taken by a concert again, experts in small clubs are simply great!
Maybe one of the best Bassguitar Solos ever...
