FINYL VINYL

Three different vocalists, various live recordings and not a particular good sound. This is Finyl Vinyl. An album I loved back in the days it was released. But the once so mighty has now fallen. But I still love the iconic cover of this greatest-hits-live album.

The songs are OK. It demonstrated the egomania of Mr. Blackmore and his musicians. Overblown and overstated. The three different vocalists means that this is not a true live album and that is the biggest mistake with this album. This is without doubt the worst socalled Rainbow live albums. The two Ronnie James Dio tracks are good though. The rest is pretty average and bad. Difficult To Cure are always a great listening. But the rest is left in a time warp and has not survived the test of time. Not in my house, anyway. It hurts me who once loved this album, but this is only two points.
