Thanks to Universal Music Italia for the info.
Unauthorized copying, while sometimes necessary, is never as good as the real thing
Great!! songs we have never heard before. I must start saving now and then I can buy it this time next year!!
December 10th, 2013 at 19:22I have most of the original vinyl singles, Hard to turn this down though all packaged so nicely and all…. Damn!!!!
December 11th, 2013 at 01:38doesn’t Tite Squeeze,One’s Man Meat and L.A Connection have the same riff opening ? I’m just saying.
December 11th, 2013 at 01:46@Anthony,what songs are new in here ? honestly i’m asking.
December 11th, 2013 at 22:41@1
What songs here haven’t we heard?????
December 12th, 2013 at 03:53This from the Classic Rock web site : Label Commercial Marketing say: “As one of the cornerstones of British Rock, Rainbow, led by the never-predictable but ever-astonishing guitarist Ritchie Blackmore, became synonymous with some of the most well regarded and popular charting Rock songs of the seventies and eighties.
Passing through the band were some of the best the genre had to offer – vocalists Ronnie James Dio and Graham Bonnet, bass player and producer Roger Glover and drummer Cozy Powell. Each brought their individual talents to record some of rock’s best-loved timeless singles.”
December 12th, 2013 at 09:27Couldn’t have said it better IMHO, although Don Airey could have been mentioned, a great keyboard player indeed!
What, NO JLT mentioned!! I can just see them now, the JLT fan club protesting with their placards held high, “where is JLT, WE want JLT etc!
Seriously though, he did sing very well on those 3 early 80’s albums, a good writing combo was the Blackmore, Glover & Turner one!
Not to mention the Blackmore/Dio songwriting on those classic 3 albums! Bravo! Cheers.
Good point al. Blackers is my favorite rock musician of all time BUT…it is probably good that he got out of the rock business because he was just recycling the same basic stuff by the 90’s. Fool for the Night was a rip off of an unreleased Purple song.
Not sure what is unreleased here…aside form another live performance by JLT…probably not worth it.
December 12th, 2013 at 15:04oh @7 and Slow Down Sister from Slaves and Masters has the same tempo and riff as Stormbringer,once again I’m just saying lol
December 14th, 2013 at 05:25I am being sarcastic guys!!
December 14th, 2013 at 08:45Who cares?! We need the great Blackmorising machine!!!
December 14th, 2013 at 20:18@ 10 yes and he likes the money as well ! lol
December 16th, 2013 at 00:27Dead or Alive is rehash riff of Spotlight Kid and I Could go on and on lol
December 16th, 2013 at 20:35I must admit i was honestly thinking about buying the above “set” of singles, from a personal perspective, it would be a better alternative to buy your fave Rainbow albums. With a number of deluxe and original recordings remastered with extra tracks on some of their albums to me
December 18th, 2013 at 00:18that’s the path i would tread.
The only reason why people should buy it are the 7″ edits, first disc is absolulely ridiculous, because the 3rd disc is the same with two additional songs.
All those B-sides are available either on Deluxe editions of albums, or on Finyl Vinyl, or on Anthology from 2009, so no reason why we should buy it, it will be packed in cardboard sleeves, which are easily damagable.
Secondly, could soneone explain me what is this New York Mix and Los Angeles Mix of Rising tracks?
December 18th, 2013 at 06:17Which of them is original, because on the 2011 deluxe edition there are both mixes and there is no mention abut their origin in the booklet.
Meh. Rainbow’s more average songs split onto separate disks…
wait! It’s in a cool box. Want. 🙂
January 2nd, 2014 at 17:09I got this recently and here is my 2 cents worth:
March 29th, 2014 at 19:27Nice hardback book and sturdy box.
Some of the photos on discs have an over enlarged ‘pixilated effect’. (How this is possible when reducing from a 7″ sleeve size i’m not sure?)
Sleeves will actually fit inside of the sleeves from the Deep Purple EMI singles box set from a few years ago. (The Gillan singles set matches the DP one in terms of size ). I wish this Rainbow set matched the DP and Gillan singles sets. It would give a cohesiveness to owning all 3. The size difference probably bothers me the most. All in all, they look nice and sound good, but it is always interesting to hear how someone edits track times down.
