"Rising" is a hard rock album by Rainbow, released in 1976 (see 1976 in music). "Rising" has become known as the best album of Rainbow's career. With founder Ritchie Blackmore retaining only Ronnie James Dio from the previous album, he recruited keyboard player Tony Carey, bassist Jimmy Bain and renowned drummer Cozy Powell to complete the new line-up. Recorded in Munich in less than a month, the album was overseen by famous Deep Purple engineer and rock producer Martin Birch.

The album marks Dio's first work with bassist Jimmy Bain. Bain would later play bass in Dio's solo band.

The showpiece is the 8 minute and 26 second piece "Stargazer", which has become one of Rainbow's most-famous tracks. This features the Munich Philharmonic Orchestra, reinforcing and enriching the riffs played by the band.

However, despite its popularity with the fans, surprisingly little of the album made it into the live set: "Stargazer" and "Do You Close Your Eyes" featured in all the 1976 shows, while "A Light in the Black" was dropped early in the tour.

"Rising" peaked at #48 on Billboard's Pop Albums chart. In the UK it would peak at #6.

The original vinyl release was a gatefold sleeve, with a generic Polydor inner-bag.

The first CD issue had a slightly different mix to that of the original LP, including, for example, a longer delay before the band entered after Carey's opening solo in 'Tarot Woman', a longer play-out on 'Run With The Wolf' and the track "Stargazer' had the vocals mixed without the delay, the extra synthesizer deleted and some of the phased sounds deleted. When remastered in 1999 the original vinyl mix was restored.

There is an ROIO with the 'Rough Mix', taken from the late Cozy Powell's own tape. Most notably, this includes a keyboard introduction to 'Stargazer', similar to that which Carey would play live. The mix itself is little different.
