Rainbow Takeaway is the eighth studio album by Kevin Ayers. The core band is essentially the same as its predecessor. Rainbow Takeaway marks the close of Ayers' progressive sound, with Billy Livsey’s synthesizer flourishes on "A View from the Mountain" providing a final coda to that era. Soul and country elements are also present on Rainbow Takeaway, coupled with reggae rhythms on "Beware of the Dog II". The eccentric Ayers mélange is in full effect on the chaotic closer "Hat Song". Ayers retired to Deià, Spain shortly after the album's release.
