Riff Raff is a 1984 album by Welsh rock musician Dave Edmunds. The album was his third release for Arista Records (in the UK) and Columbia Records (in the US), following 1983's Information. Riff Raff continued Edmunds' collaboration with Electric Light Orchestra frontman Jeff Lynne; Lynne produced six tracks on the albums, and wrote three of the songs as well. However, compared to the pair's success with Information (which hit #51 on the Billboard 200 album chart and spawned a top-40 single in "Slipping Away"), Riff Raff was a commercial flop. The album made it to only #140, and the single "Something About You" failed to crack the Billboard Hot 100 at all (although it did hit #18 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart).

The 2013 box set Original Album Classics does not contain every one of Dave Edmunds' great albums there is no Get It, no Tracks on Wax 4, no Repeat When Necessary (nothing from Swan Song, in other words) but it does offer good and great records from throughout his career. Subtle as a Flying Mallet, D.E. 7th, I Hear You Rockin' Live, Information, and Riff Raff are all here, and while the latter two are a little hidebound to their Jeff Lynne production, they're enjoyable, while the first two range from great to very good. All and all, at this price it's a steal.
