2 CD All The Old 45s – The Very Best of Deacon Blue coincides with the band’s UK and Ireland tour of the same name, and charts their multi-million selling history – from bringing ‘Chocolate Girl’ and ‘Dignity’ to life in the corner of a Glasgow basement, to skyscraping, stadium-filling hits like ‘Wages Day’ and ‘Real Gone Kid’, via their swoon-inducing tribute to Bacharach and David (‘I’ll Never Fall In Love Again’), their collective favourite single (‘Your Swaying Arms’), and one of the most significant songs in the Deacon Blue canon, which followed a split in 1994 and the loss of two original members: 2012’s comeback single ‘The Hipsters’ heralded a new lease of life for the group, and jump-started a second act that’s seen them more fired up, and prolific, than ever. 2CD beautifully packaged in a card digisleeve with a 16 page booklet containing rare and previously unseen imagery plus an extensive sleevenote by journalist Nicola Meighan with new insights from all current members of Deacon Blue, who reflect on the songs – and albums, and memories – that mean the most to them.
