Tracks 5 and 8 by Blackmore, Dio, and Powell. The rest by Blackmore and Dio.

Most of the bass lines on the album were played by Ritchie Blackmore after Mark Clarke was fired and his recordings were erased. After Bob Daisley and David Stone joined and toured Europe, the full band went back to the studio in December 1977 to finish the album. Former keyboard player Tony Carey played on the initial sessions in a guest capacity.

Recording information:

Recorded at the Strawberry Studio, Château d'Hérouville, France, from April to July and December 1977.
