The Baby Flies were a NYC band in the late 1980's. They had three releases that I know of. The first was a 7" single by a 5-person version of the group with a male lead singer, Pictures and Parties on the A-side, and I Only Burn in the Morning, which was given new lyrics and a general spiffing up and became Washing Over Me on their last record. After the self-released single they put out two albums, Rain and A Colorful View, on an indie label. By the end they were a three-piece with a female lead singer.
I've never seen Rain, but the CD version of A Colorful View included six tracks from it as bonus tracks.

I loooooove The Baby Flies big time. 'Course that may just be 'cause I grew up listening to them and there was something strangely comforting about listening to interesting songs and knowing that my dear relatives were largely responsible for their creation.
