Hi  Mike,

Don't think Rain was ever released on 12" in USA. There is a 12" copy of Rain released as a radio promo in Canada in 1984.

https://www.discogs.com/Bob-Geldof-The-Boomtown-Rats-Rain/release/3606510

Can only find 7" single released in US.

Interesting one here for you good people. The Canadian version of In The Long Grass is different from both the British and American versions. It contains Rain but the British versions of Drag Me Down and Lucky.

Thanks derek I know the2005cd release is ok but they shuffle the track listing so I listen to itlg on vinyl when possible as I prefer it to cd I don't know why I just think it sounds crisper

Playing this a lot I know it's Dave but different lyrics but still feels like a different song to me still annoyed that Dave didn't chart in U.K. Stil think it's a fab song I would say it's my fave song of1984 and deserved better than it got airplay wise
