Riding On A Rainbow is a studio album by the English band The Rubettes. It is the band's 9th studio album, despite being released approximately six months before the 8th album Shangri'La. (Shangri'la was recorded in 1979 but remained unreleased until December 1992 - the Rubettes albums have therefore been numbered in recording, rather than release, order). [2][3]
