Raining Pleasure by Australian folk rock group The Triffids was released as a 12" extended play in 1984, and reached No. 95 on the Australian Charts. Its seven tracks were co-produced by the group with Nick Mainsbridge – who also supplied trumpet.
Although the EP has not been in print for some time, selected tracks appeared on the Love in Bright Landscapes (1986) and Australian Melodrama (1994) compilations, while all seven tracks were compiled on Beautiful Waste and Other Songs in 2008.
In 1992 Greek indie band, Rest in Peace, were renamed as Raining Pleasure based on the title track. "Raining Pleasure" was covered by Australian band, The Paradise Motel, on their 1996 EP, Some Deaths Take Forever, which is mostly a heavily processed instrumental, with few recognisable vocal fragments. During 2007 Paul Kelly performed the track as a duet with his support act New Buffalo (aka Sally Seltmann) on his Stolen Apples Tour of Australia.
All songs written by David McComb, unless otherwise noted.
