Ritchie Blackmores Rainbow Rainbow SKU: MELT008 Barcode: 821797880084 27.00 £27.00 Genre: Progressive Label: Wax Cathedral Released Date: 18th December 2013 Buying Format: 180g 1LP Coloured Vinyl Out of stock Back Order Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info In 1974, Ritchie Blackmore’s bandmates in Deep Purple refused his request to cut a cover of Quatermass’ “Black Sheep of the Family.” Demonstrating impressive commitment to the song, Blackmore set out to record it himself with the help of then-emerging vocalist Ronnie James Dio and members of his band Elf. To have enough material to release this as a single, Blackmore and Dio collaborated on “Sixteenth Century Greensleeves.” Pleased with the results of the recordings, the two fleshed out a full album and Blackmore formally parted ways with Deep Purple. Blackmore and Dio named this new band after the location where they initially discussed their collaboration – the legendary Rainbow Bar and Grill on West Hollywood’s Sunset Strip. Rainbow was born. Drawing on medieval classical progressions for inspiration, Blackmore’s textured playing paired with Dio’s fantastical lyrical imagery and inimitable vocals set Rainbow apart from their hard rock contemporaries. Featuring what would prove to be Rainbow’s signature tune, “Man on the Silver Mountain,” Ritchie Blackmore’s Rainbow is a dynamic voyage. Blackmore’s somber, melodic playing weaves a mystical tapestry over which Dio’s tales of drawbridges, crossbows and kings settle like a knight on his steed. This influential classic concludes with a flourish as a cover of the Yardbirds’ Gregorian chant-influenced instrumental “Still I’m Sad” proves to be a perfect pulpit for Blackmore’s rhapsody-like soloing. Complete with a faithful replication of the original gatefold sleeve and dead-quiet surfaces, this Wax Cathedral reissue is pressed at RTI, America’s best record plant. Even better, it’s on coloured vinyl.
