"Finyl Vinyl" is a collection of live recordings and B-sides by Rainbow and was released in 1986, after the band had already ceased to be when Blackmore and Glover were part of the Deep Purple reformation. No studio track had previously been unreleased.

Notes about the tracks

*The LP notes mistakenly credit drums on 'Weiss Heim' to Bobby Rondinelli when in fact they were performed by Cozy Powell.
*"Difficult to Cure" is taken from the final Japanese Rainbow date in 1984 and features a full orchestral accompaniment.
*"Man on the Silver Mountain" featured guitar overdubs.
*The original double vinyl release omitted "Street of Dreams", although it was included on the cassette version. The first CD issue, a single disc, omitted both "Street of Dreams" and "Tearin' Out My Heart". These were restored on the 2CD remaster, along with the original artwork.
