By the time we finished the album, I’d played bass on [it] and written all the songs with Ritchie,” Glover told Guitar International in 2013. “He said, ‘Why aren’t you in the band?’ I said, ‘No one’s asked me.’ Eventually, the call came, ‘Would you like to join Rainbow?’ and I did.” We're gonna be rich!

Rainbow's take on the Russ Ballard penned Since You Been Gone is much preferable to the one by Head East which was released a year or so earlier, but that really is damning with faint praise while the best thing about All Night Long was the B-side on the 45, Weiss Heim. Love’s No Friend” could be called Rainbow’s version of “Mistreated.” It has the melancholic, bluesy riff accompanied by a brilliant, soulful vocal performance from Bonnet. “Lost in Hollywood” is a great closer with a driving riff and vocals with a rapid vocal hook by Bonnet just before the chorus. The solo is what really shines on here though and if Ritchie just let it rip on the rest of this release; it could have been something special.Remaster memo) Although the sound quality has not changed at all, I adjusted it because the left and right balance was greatly distorted between the A side and the B side. You can enjoy the sound of the tape itself in the best condition. I've been a very big fan of Dio in every way for over a decade, and he was my gateway to Rainbow like many others. I've played the first 3 Rainbow records over these many years ad nauseam, and marveled at the vocal acrobatics countless times. It led me to a natural frustration that he, Ritchie and the others (not least of all Cozy Powell) couldn't get past petty differences to create more music. Because of this, I exclusively followed the Dio camp because I had already been inundated by the glory that was Holy Diver, and it did not take me long to appreciate the brilliance of his work with Sabbath. I never got into Deep Purple, so I brushed off the path that Ritchie took after this split. I just wasn't interested.... what a mistake.

The first time this recording came out in the world was 2002, but later the Deluxe Edition of “DOWN TO EARTH” was released from the official. Also on the bonus disc there was also an out-take entitled “WORK IN PROGRESS” under work, but this work is totally different take / mix (According to mania’s verification “RISING” deluxe · The edition is said to be the same as Cozy tape). The arrangement is different from the final version, and the song is added immediately after the intro, making it fresh. Also recorded for the proposed next single, but unreleased due to Bonnet's departure, was " Will You Love Me Tomorrow". Bonnet had previously recorded this song for his first, eponymously titled, solo album in 1977. Rainbow's version was recorded in the studio in May 1980, during rehearsals for the Japanese leg of the Down to Earth tour. It was subsequently played live throughout that tour.a b Begrand, Adrien (28 April 2011). "Rainbow: Down to Earth (Deluxe Edition)". PopMatters . Retrieved 8 December 2013.

Don Airey had left England in such a rush that he’d forgotten his coat. The keyboard player had been asked by his old friend Roger Glover to fly to the States to join Rainbow as they geared up to record their fourth album. As he walked into the rehearsal studio he passed a familiar figure on the way out My now defunct band - We Will Have Victory - supported Graham at the Bristol Bierkeller about five years ago. He opened up with Since You Been Gone. The sheer balls of that. It meant I was able to go home after the third song - Eyes of the World. Thanks Graham! In addition to the “DOWN TO EARTH” number, the “Cozy Tape” also contained a rough mix of the “LINE-UP” song “Set Me Free”. In this work, this song is also upgraded. Graham’s vocals, which were originally recorded faintly, have been greatly remixed and have been adjusted to the level recorded in the album. Moreover, not only the vocals, but also the rhythm section and guitars are well balanced, and even if you listen to the above “DOWN TO EARTH” continuously, it is sublimated to a degree of perfection that is comparable.

It starts wonderfully with jaw dropping drumUltimately, Bonnet is a great singer, better than his limited, brief tenures in bands would suggest and I think this album stands up as the last great Rainbow record. Chris Downie: A very good choice for this week, I can think of few albums by a "classic" band as divisive as this one! Philip Qvist: Okay let's get straight to the obvious; this is no Rising - but then again very few albums are.
