I've never really bothered to get the old Rainbow albums, until now. At first I thought the "very best of" album would be enough, but I found out that I wanted more songs from the Dio era so...
Anyway you probably know what this is about. If not well, it was meant to be a kind of a solo album of guitarist Ritchie Blackmore (Deep Purple) but evolved into something that's become one of the most classic bands over the years.
Kinda heavy rock (became more heavy metal later), a bit bluesy, especially "Catch the rainbow". Perhaps one of my absolute favorite riffs in "Man on the silver mountain". And Dio rule as always... that's it.
