Finyl Vinyl is a collection of live recordings and B-sides by Rainbow and was released in 1986, after the band had already disbanded in 1984. No studio track had previously been unreleased.

Notes

• The cover photograph of Ritchie was taken by Ross Halfin after a concert at the Deutschland Halle in Berlin in November 1982.
• 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. The guitar solo was re-recorded and differs from the video release.
• "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.
