AMG Review of Raintown [Legacy Edition]

Steve Aldrich
All Music Guide

An inspiring debut of well-crafted adult pop, heavily under the influence of Prefab Sprout, it was originally released by CBS Records in the U.K. in May 1987. Raintown was released in the U.S. by Columbia Records in March 1988. [This remastered Legacy edition includes a 13-track bonus disc of unreleased and rare performances, liner notes by Ricky Ross, and an extensive collection of photos.]
