File Under Rock is a 1988 album by Guyanese-British musician Eddy Grant. The album includes the song "Gimme Hope Jo'anna" which was a hit in Switzerland[1] and New Zealand[2] as well as "Harmless Piece of Fun" which was a minor hit in the Netherlands.[3] The album was titled File Under Rock after years of Eddy Grant being incorrectly described as a reggae artist.[4] In Germany, the album charted for 10 weeks reaching number 48 in 1988.[5] The album was a larger success in New Zealand where it reached number 24 on the charts and charted for 13 weeks.[6] In the Netherlands the album reached number 36, but was only on the charts for 4 weeks.[7] Allmusic's Alex Henderson described the album as being mostly pop rock with slight reggae influences.[4]
