My Hats sticker had Peter Gabriel and Rickie Lee Jones quotes on it.
I'd always suspected that PG's "Red Rain" was heavily influenced by the Blue Nile, particularly his back-of-the-open-throat vocal sound. 3 years later, seeing Gabriel hyping Hats confirmed it, as far as I was concerned.

every time i hear "heatwave" i end up thinking i need to track down the late 80's paul schrader movie called heatwave that uses the song over the opening credits and must surely exist somewhere

"Regret", collected on the remastered 2cd AWAtR, is the one that kills me. "It's 3:30 and I'm thinking of you. Regret."
Hoping 2022 includes a new Paul Buchanan album.
