The Gatefold inside image was actually a Rush audience not a Rainbow audience the photo was doctored on the large banner removing Rush replacing it with Long Live Rock n Roll :-)
Fantastic album, but the thing I really want to note about it is the quality of the vinyl...
...It's another one on the Polydor Deluxe label, and my word, I have to say I'm convinced now that these are the best sounding vinyls I've ever heard. I'm a convert.
The vinyl is silent, with no background hiss in the quietest parts, and the clarity and power of the music is truly exceptional. Having previously recorded Roxy Music's Avalon, and Vangelis' China on the Deluxe labels, I am completely blown away by them!
Whatever Polydor were doing with their vinyl, they did it absolutely right.
I shall be taking the Deluxe branding as a hallmark of quality from now on when buying vinyl.
