Due to the absence of a bassist, Ritchie Blackmore was forced to perform some bass songs, but this album allows you to enjoy his bass playing.
The third album released in 1978. This was the last album with Ronnie James Dio in the band, and included songs such as "Long Live Rock 'n' Roll" and "Kill the King."
This album is full of catchy songs. They started production with new bassist Mark Clarke. However, he was fired two months after joining (as was keyboardist Tony Carey). After that, they brought in session musicians to complete the album.
