180g Heavyweight Vinyl!

Rainbow's Polydor 180g Vinyl album reissued separately following the Polydor Years box set.

The third album by Rainbow, originally released in 1978, was the last to feature vocalist Ronnie James Dio. Rounding out the line-up was Ritchie Blackmore, Cozy Powell, Bob Daisley, and David Stone. Additionally, on "Gates of Babylon," Rainer Pietsch conducted the Bavarian String Ensemble.

Rainbow were a British rock band led by guitarist Ritchie Blackmore from 1975 to 1984 and 1993 to 1997. They were originally established with American rock band Elf's members, but Blackmore fired all the members except Ronnie James Dio who would leave in 1979. Three British musicians joined in 1979, singer Graham Bonnet, keyboardist Don Airey, former Deep Purple bassist Roger Glover, and this line-up gave the band their commercial breakthrough with the single "Since You Been Gone." 

Over the years Rainbow went through many line-up changes with no two studio albums featuring the same line-up. Other lead singers Joe Lynn Turner and Doogie White would follow, and the project consisted of numerous backing musicians. The band started out combining mystical lyric themes with neoclassical metal, but went in a more streamlined commercial style following Dio's departure from the group. Rainbow were ranked No. 90 on VH1's 100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock. The band has sold over 28 million albums worldwide and 4 million albums in the United States.

"Long Live Rock 'n' Roll may be singer Ronnie James Dio's last album with Rainbow, but at least he went out on a high note...very cohesive, steady, and, ultimately, satisfying."
