The period 1976-1983 is widely regarded as Rainbow's classic era, known for its epic compositions, mystical lyrics, and extended improvisational live jams. The shows featured a dark, brooding, and guitar-led heavy metal sound with neoclassical influences. Songs were often stretched in length to accommodate extensive solos, particularly by guitarist Ritchie Blackmore and drummer Cozy Powell. This clear vinyl record album features rock hits from the early years.
