Touring since the age of 17, the Sheffield-born Carrack wrote and sang 'How Long', the much-covered 1974 classic from his days with Ace, and was the voice of 'Tempted', from his tenure with Squeeze. Then came such hits with Mike + the Mechanics as the GRAMMY-nominated 'The Living Years' and 'Over My Shoulder', the latter a co-write with Mike Rutherford. Not to mention that another co-write, ‘Love Will Keep Us Alive’, was covered by the Eagles and won a prestigious ASCAP award for Song of the Year. Diana Ross, no less, covered Carrack’s co-write with Nick Lowe, ‘Battlefield’, and as an in-demand collaborator, Paul’s decades of distinction include sessions with The Smiths, Elton John, Roxy Music, B.B. King and countless others, culminating in an invitation from Eric Clapton to join his touring band. Since the turn of the century, Paul has been gaining real, independent momentum since he formed his own Carrack-UK label in 2000 with the landmark ‘Satisfy My Soul’ release. He has quietly built a huge, loyal fan base, the audience that not only devours his albums, but turns out to see his frequent, extensive tours in their thousands. He’s done that the only way he knows: by making high-quality, accessible pop-soul with unmissable hooks and lyrics that say something about all of our lives. His solo catalogue boasts much-loved signature songs such as 'Satisfy My Soul', 'Eyes Of Blue', and 'That's All That Matters To Me'.

Thanks for this but the last track is unfortunately corrupted.

Track 19 - Raining In My Heart (2024 Version) play length on my copy is 4:03 I believe mine may be right. Spotify shows the longer & also amazon & you tube.

@Frankie.. guess you might be right about the running time for track 19. However, in the copy I found the running time is 2:55, and the file wasn't corrupt, so I guessed that was the correct one. Seems there are different versions depending on what copy one finds. Anyway, will let my links stay for now.

@Red Rooster

Track 19 correct time is 4:02 as Frankie says. The 2:55 version is not from this album, it's from the album "Paul Carrack Live: The Independent Years CD3".
There's also another FLAC version of this album floating around where track 19 has the time of 4:20 with a size of 5.54 MB that is also a fake one. This one was posted in Israbox and a friend sent it to me.

Here is my FLAC rip of this album for whoever is interested.

Thank you for the clarification Bluestender, and thanks for providing a good copy which I downloaded myself. Did remove my comment with the links for what I thought was "the real deal" (which it wasn't).
