When remastered in 1999 the original vinyl mix was restored. The track "Stargazer" had the vocals mixed without the delay, the extra synthesizer deleted and some of the phased sounds deleted. The first CD issue had a slightly different mix to that of the original LP, including a longer delay before the band entered after Carey's opening solo in "Tarot Woman", and a longer play-out on "Run with the Wolf".

The band was originally billed as Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow in the US, but was titled simply Rainbow on this release. Recorded in Munich in less than a month, the album was overseen by rock producer and engineer Martin Birch. Band leader Ritchie Blackmore retained only singer Ronnie James Dio from the previous album line-up, and recruited drummer Cozy Powell, bassist Jimmy Bain and keyboard player Tony Carey to complete the new roster.
