EP released by thehard rock band Rainbow in 1981. The EP reached #151 onBillboard Magazine 's Top 200 albums chart. Tracks include two songs previously unavailable in the US, and two songs from their full length album "Difficult to Cure ". The cover art featured the sameHipgnosis photography used for the "Difficult To Cure" album, with a different background.The title song "Jealous Lover" received significant airplay on
Album-oriented rock radio stations in the US, reaching #13 on Billboard's Rock Tracks chart, which tracked AOR airplay. The song had previously been issued as a b-side to "Can't Happen Here" in the UK and elsewhere, but at the time was not available on any full length album.The second track, "Weis Heim" was previously only available as the b-side to the UK single "All Night Long", and also never before issued in the USA.
Both tracks on side two, "Can't Happen Here" and "I Surrender" had been issued as singles and included on the album "Difficult To Cure".
"I Surrender" was notable as a track not composed by the band. Rather it was written by
Russ Ballard , formerly of Argent and at the time enjoying moderate success as a songwriter for other artists. Ballard had also written "Since You Been Gone" previously recorded by Rainbow.The "Jealous Lover" EP has never been issued on compact disc, though all of the songs are available on CD as part of other albums and compilations.
