This is one of the most fantastic albums ever made!It's simply OUTSTANDING!Inspired 200 % and full of excellent compositions ,magically performed by some super musicians and especially a golden voice -RONALD PADAVONA aka RONNIE JAMES DIO!Tired of compromises in DEEP PURPLE,Ritchie Blackmore found a new way of expression of his huge talent with this new band and delivers some wonderful music,brilliant compositions and superbe guitar work too,but,most of all,a fabulous vocalist -the one and only DIO!Now,when the LITTLE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN VOICE is gone,we realise that the music on this album is timeless and will last forever,a monument of inspiration and magic!All the tracks are so perfectly written and puts in evidence the fantastic talent of Blackmore as composer and guitar player and the warm and in the same time powerful voice of DIO!MAN ON THE SILVER MOUNTAIN,THE TEMPLE OF THE KING and especially CATCH THE RAINBOW are true anthems,pure musical jewels where Dio really shines and all the album offers superbe compositions of the highest musical quality possible!Think only that in 2010 we have 35 years since this album was released and no dust trace on the tracks,that's timeless valuable music!This album marks the spectacular debut of one of the most wonderful bands in the history of rock,RITCHIE BLACKMORE'S RAINBOW is a true milestone,a moment of heavenly inspiration and some unforgetable anthems of rock! 5 STARS for a 100 % masterpiece!
