This is the Limited Edition Special Price version, housed in the gatefold sleeve with the gold special-price stamp to the front. Of particular interest are the mastering inscriptions, with STERLING present on Side A and MASTERDISK G.K. on Side B. The album features the classic Ritchie Blackmore and Ronnie James Dio-era Rainbow line-up and includes Tarot Woman, Starstruck, Stargazer and A Light In The Black. This copy also retains the striking large Simons Records “Discount Price £2.99” retailer sticker on the front cover — a great piece of period record-shop history and a particularly distinctive feature of this example.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSleeve: EX\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe gatefold sleeve presents extremely well, with only light signs of handling and storage consistent with its age.
