Note that the version of "Who Can Stop The Rain" is a longer version than the one that is on the US version. I cannot speak for all of the non-US versions, but I have the German pressed for the UK version. Here the time is 5:57 for this track, where it is only 5:17 on the US version.

      Absolutely love this record. No way for me to describe the feelings and emotions it evokes. The amount of craftsmanship that went into these songs is incredible to me. The music is actually very complex with all its subtleties. Also the musicianship and excellent bass playing that make this record stand on its own. My personal favorites are “Day After Day”, “Into The Gap” and “Storm On The Sea” but I love EVERY song on here. Timeless masterpiece.
