Look for Rainbow’s final album featuring Dio in special format…only catch…you must actually visit a REAL record store:

Rainbow’s 1978 studio effort, ‘Long Live Rock ‘n’ Roll’ was a very significant album for the band, as it signaled the last Rainbow release to feature the legendary Ronnie James Dio. But despite Dio’s imminent departure from the band, the album has become not only one of Rainbow’s best, but one of the best hard rock/heavy metal releases of all time, as evidenced by the inclusion of such classics as the anthemic title track, as well as “Gates of Babylon,” “Kill the King,” and one of rock’s most gorgeous ballads, “Rainbow Eyes.”

And on April 21st, Niji Entertainment Group will be celebrating Record Store Day by reissuing ‘Long Live Rock ‘n’ Roll’ as a numbered/limited edition picture disc, which features the album’s classic cover art on the front of the disc, and a crowd shot (originally featured in the gatefold of the original album) on the back. Additionally, this release will sport much-improved sonics from the original, as it was remastered under the supervision of long time Dio engineer, Wyn Davis.
