Rainbow - Rising (Vinyl 180 g, Reissue, Gatefold)

Rainbow - Rising is a real classic, the second studio album by Ritchie Blackmore's band now only named "Rainbow", it was originally released on 17 May 1976. The album features only six tracks, including two epic compositions exceeding eight minutes on side two. Although the songs from this album have been performed live rarely, if at all, "Stargazer" is widely regarded as a Rainbow classic and a landmark in heavy metal music.

Following the release of Rainbow’s debut, guitarist and bandleader Ritchie Blackmore dismissed all members except vocalist and lyricist Ronnie James Dio. He recruited  drummer Cozy Powell, with Jimmy Bain on bass and Tony Carey on keyboards before recordings started at Musicland Studios in West Germany with producer Martin Birch. 

This is a 180 g, heavy weight vinyl in gatefold cover.
