The Rah Band was formed by Richard Anthony Hewson (RAH) in 1977, and launched with 'The Crunch', a strange compelling instrumental which was a mixture of glam stomp, space age jazz and futuristic pop that was recorded DIY style in his bedroom. The single reached No. 6 in the UK singles chart and launched a career that has spanned 25 studio and compilation albums and over 40 singles, enjoying chart and sales success in both the UK and a number of overseas territories. Richard Hewson is still recording today and this collection of his recordings covering the period 1985-1998 demonstrate Hewson's role as the shapeshifting sonic adventurer with demiurgic power.
