The version featured on a regular album was sung by Candice Night. The song 'Street of Dreams' has been re-recorded in two versions by Blackmore's Night in 2006 for their fifth studio album, The Village Lanterne. The music video for 'Street of Dreams' was banned by MTV for its supposedly controversial hypnotic clip. Along with 'Street of Dreams', directed by Storm Thorgerson, it became a part of Rainbow's home video collection The Final Cut (1985).

The music video for 'Can't Let You Go', directed by Dominic Orlando, was filmed in New York City (1984) and inspired by the 1920 silent b/w film The Cabinet of Dr. Howard Johnson of 'Kerrang!' magazine (No.51 – Sept 22-Oct 5, 1983) praised the album as 'possibly Rainbow's most complete work to date' and called 'Desperate Heart' and 'Street of Dreams' 'two of this year's finest tunes'.

The album was particularly aimed at the US market: the title is an American idiom rather than a British one, although it received positive reviews in the U.K. As a result, some of the songs, like the first single released from this album, ' Street of Dreams', are usually considered to be more in the album-oriented rock style, instead of the hard rock sound of earlier Rainbow albums. This album is generally referred to by critics and fans as a commercial effort, with the band attempting to repeat the success of the song 'Stone Cold' and the album Straight Between the Eyes. This has two tracks of a longer duration than on the first US CD issue. It was recorded at Sweet Silence Studios in Copenhagen in about 7 weeks.Ī remastered CD reissue was released in May 1999, which restored the artwork of the original release. The cassette featured several longer edits compared to the vinyl version. It was originally released in August 1983 as an LP and cassette.

'Can't Let You Go' / 'All Night Long (live)'īent Out of Shape is the seventh studio album released by the British hard rock band Rainbow.
