File Under Rock is the ninth studio album by Guyanese-British musician Eddy Grant, released in April 1988. The album includes the song "Gimme Hope Jo'anna" which was a hit in Switzerland and New Zealand as well as "Harmless Piece of Fun" which was a minor hit in the Netherlands, and "Put a Hold on It," which charted at No. 79 in the UK. The album was titled File Under Rock in response to years of Eddy Grant being incorrectly described as a reggae artist.
Reception
Music Week gave a lukewarm review, saying "Fans of Grant's recent singles will buy this record but only half of the material will please." In Germany, the album charted for 10 weeks reaching number 48 in 1988. The album was a larger success in New Zealand where it reached number 24 on the charts and charted for 13 weeks. In the Netherlands the album reached number 36, but was only on the charts for 4 weeks. AllMusic's Alex Henderson described the album as being mostly pop rock with slight reggae influences.
