There's Gonna Be a Storm: The Complete Recordings 1966–1969
There's Gonna Be a Storm: The Complete Recordings 1966–1969 is a compilation album by New York pop band The Left Banke, released on Mercury Records in 1992. It contains the entirety of the band's two 1960s albums Walk Away Renée/Pretty Ballerina and The Left Banke Too, with an additional four tracks having appeared on singles only and one previously unreleased track, as well as "Walk Away Renee" appearing as a slightly remixed version. It is currently out of print. The band enjoyed cult status in the 1990s and beyond as a definitive example of mid-1960s baroque pop.
