Difficult To Cure - Rainbow - LP - Pre Owned Vinyl (Arrives in 21days)

Released in 1981, 'Difficult To Cure' marks a pivotal chapter in Rainbow’s evolving soundscape. With Ritchie Blackmore at the helm, the band pivots from their earlier, mystical hard rock towards a more accessible, melodic style—without sacrificing their technical prowess or instrumental firepower. This album is a showcase of bold experimentation, featuring the powerhouse vocals of Joe Lynn Turner and a lineup that found its stride in balancing arena-ready hooks with intricate musicianship.

Tracks like 'I Surrender' and 'Spotlight Kid' pulse with anthemic energy, while the title track—a rock adaptation of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony—demonstrates Rainbow’s willingness to bridge classical gravitas with electric swagger. The album’s layered production and infectious choruses reflect the shifting tides of early ’80s rock, making it a time capsule of both innovation and radio-friendly craft.

For collectors and listeners, 'Difficult To Cure' is a testament to Rainbow’s adaptability and influence during a transformative era for rock music.
