In The Shadow Of The Wizard, a captivating full-color, hardback, large-format coffee table book, takes readers on a comprehensive journey through Rainbow's formative years. This lavishly illustrated volume meticulously documents the band's early days, encompassing key milestones such as the recording of their debut album while Blackmore was still a member of Deep Purple, the inaugural North American tour, the creation of the seminal Rainbow Rising, and the extensive world tour that followed.

The reader is transported on a gig-by-gig odyssey through the legendary Rainbow line-up, featuring the talents of Blackmore, Dio, Powell, Bain, and Carey. Accompanied by an array of previously unpublished photos, memorabilia, and archive press cuttings, this book offers a deep dive into the band's history. An in-depth track-by-track analysis of the albums is provided, along with a section dedicated to the short-lived Oyster Records, established solely at Blackmore's insistence.

Furthermore, The Shadow Of The Wizard chronicles all the known recordings from this era, including detailed information about the numerous hours of rehearsal recordings made at Pirate Sound in California. Additionally, a comprehensive guide to all the officially recorded live material is included, initially prepared for the On Stage album. This comprehensive volume is a must-have for music enthusiasts and Rainbow fans alike, providing a treasure trove of insights and memorabilia from the band's formative years.
