Product Description

Scarce Actual 1977 Japanese First Pressing ~ Still In Great Condition! Heavy Grade Gatefold Cover Includes 4-Page Colour Photo Insert & Insert With Lyrics In English & Japanese.

A Fantastic Double Live Set From Former Deep Purple Guitarist, Ritchie Blackmore, Along With Ronnie James Dio (Vocals), Cozy Powell (Drums), Jimmy Bain (Bass) & Tony Carey (Keyboards).

Condition – Vinyl: EXCELLENT! Couple of very light surface marks, which do not affect play at all.

Condition – Cover: EXCELLENT! Some discolouring.

Japanese vinyl pressings are highly sought after by audiophiles and collectors, due to their premium sound quality and beautifully presented packaging. The sonic quality of Japanese records is regarded as the best in the world. No wonder all the original Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab records were pressed in Japan! The covers are printed on better quality heavy stock paper too. Top condition original Japanese pressings are becoming scarcer ~ and therefore more collectable and valuable every year.

    Geoff (verified owner) – March 1, 2015

    Recorded on the 'Rising' tour in 1976, this double album captures guitar god Ritchie Blackmore and his band at peak performance in concert, with powerhouse drumming from the late great Cozy Powell, & brilliant vocals from Ronnie James Dio (who is also no longer with us). The playing is absolute superb! Highlight of the set is the 15+ minute version of "Catch the Rainbow", which affords Ritchie space to extend his input to the track significantly. To his credit, he does not attempt to add blistering licks, but maintains the integrity of this beautifully melodic piece. Blackmore also lays claim to the Coverdale/Hughes era Deep Purple song "Mistreated" from the "Burn" album. Ritchie develops what was in any case one of his finest solos while a member of DP. Both "Sixteenth Century Greensleeves" & cover of Yardbird's "Still I'm Sad" are considerably longer than their studio counterparts. There have been further live offerings from Rainbow since this early release -- none has managed to recapture the power & excitement of 'On Stage'. Essential!
