A Light In The Black Line up: Ritchie Blackmore – Guitar Ronnie James Dio – Vocals Tony Carey – Keyboards Jimmy Bain – Bass Cozy Powell – Drums Record Label / Year of Release: Polydor 1976 Notes: Rising (also known as Rainbow Rising) is the second hard rock/heavy metal album by Rainbow, released in 1976. With Ritchie Blackmore retaining only Ronnie James Dio from the previous album, he recruited drummer Cozy Powell, bassist Jimmy Bain and keyboard player Tony Carey to complete the new line-up. Recorded in Munich in less than a month, the album was overseen by rock producer and engineer Martin Birch. The record was originally billed as Blackmore's Rainbow in the US. The album showpiece is the 8 minute and 26 second piece "Stargazer", which features the Munich Philharmonic Orchestra. Few of the album tracks made it into the band's live set: "Stargazer" and "Do You Close Your Eyes", written prior to the inaugural US tour in late 1975, featured in all the 1975 and 1976 shows, while "A Light in the Black" was dropped early in the 1976 tour, although it was reintroduced into the set during the Japanese dates. "Starstruck" was played in shortened form usually as part of "Man On The Silver Mountain". The original vinyl release was a gatefold sleeve, with a generic Polydor inner-bag. The first CD issue had a slightly different mix to that of the original LP, including, for example, a longer delay before the band entered after Carey's opening solo in "Tarot Woman", a longer play-out on "Run With The Wolf" and the track "Stargazer" had the vocals mixed without the delay, the extra synthesizer deleted and some of the phased sounds deleted. When remastered in 1999 the original vinyl mix was restored.
