With vocals by his wife Liz Hewson, their track "(I Can't) Turn Back The Hands Of Time" became another Top 10 single in the UK.

Over the years, the band has achieved seven UK hits and released records on various labels including DJM Records, KR, TMT Records, S.O.U.N.D. Recordings, RCA, and Supreme Records.

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.
