Pot of Gold
Pot of Gold is a compilation by Rainbow, released in 2002 on Spectrum Music. It collects the band's work under a hard rock banner, and it is one of sixteen compilations that carry the Rainbow name.
It sits within a catalogue that began with Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow in 1975 and ran through Rising, Long Live Rock 'n' Roll, Down to Earth, Difficult to Cure, Straight Between the Eyes and Bent Out of Shape, before Stranger in Us All arrived in 1995. For anyone who wants a quick route into that run of eight studio albums, a budget-minded collection like this is a simple place to start before moving on to the full records.
