Album Notes & Community Reviews
This collection surveys Rainbow's career from Ritchie Blackmore's medieval-leaning hard rock of the Ronnie James Dio years through the AOR of the Joe Lynn Turner era. 'Man on the Silver Mountain' and 'Since You Been Gone' mark the poles of one of British rock's most successful reinventions.
