Down To Earth (Shm-Cd)

Limited vinyl LP pressing of Rainbow's 1979 studio album. Down To Earth is the fourth studio album by the British hard rock band Rainbow. It contains Rainbow's first hit single "Since You Been Gone", marking a more commercial direction of the band's sound. The writing of Down to Earth began at Ritchie Blackmore's house in Connecticut in December 1978. During song composition, Graham Bonnet made his vocal melodies though his contributions remained uncredited. His vocals were not recorded with the other tracks in France, but later at Kingdom Sound Studios in Long Island, when all other recording sessions were completed. Down To Earth is the only Rainbow album to feature Bonnet, though he was still part of the band when writing for Difficult to Cure began.
