Bob-A-Rela is a disco project from 1979 from producers George Lagios and Pat Deserio. A space fused production with a rock edge to each piece placed carefully in this disco harvest. “Why Does It Rain” is a track which plays out like a classic rock tune begging for an answer for heartache as it sets in. The slight twist with the guitars whining out the crescendo of echoes at the end of the song are one of the memorable pieces of this fabulous take on disco in a futuristic rock arena. The cowbell outline gives the haunting resonance that makes the song even more powerful. Deserio worked with Bombers during this period and his touch is evenly felt throughout this venture in a lasting touch.
I have taken the album version of “Why Does It Rain” and placed it in the ReStructure Mix mode for another mild edit and resurrection of the song. I have edged out more of the verses where pieces of the closing segments take over.
