Format:Audio CD
I admit it...I was aware of the Proclaimers in the late 80s, but dismissed them without a second listen...I won this CD on a local radio station phone in. What can I say? Every now and then you listen to an album, or a series of songs that just make you feel good...better...at one with everything. "The Joyful Kilmarnock Blues" is one such song...absolutely fantastic. Comic Relief 2007 has given them a boost with 500 miles, but they deserve it. Thoughtful lyrics,catchy tunes, and unmistakable voices..my 16 year old son was even impressed with this album. They may have been going for 20 years, but now I can see why. I recommend this album unreservedly as a great way to explore their music. 5 stars and some.

If you already own the Proclaimers greatest hits, you will have no need to purchase this - just buy the comic relief single.
This is a shameless re-packaged cash in of a 5 year old album with the current hit tacked on to the end.
If you don't own the old greatest hits, then I would waste no time in ordering this. It rocks.

I just love this album. Every song is brilliant - and they are packed in! About 20 tracks - well over an hour. Unusually for a "Best of" collection the notes include all the lyrics and other notes, which is great.
The best known [500 miles, Letter from America, etc] are here, but beauties like "Let's get married" & "Act of Remembrance" soon become favourites.
I heard them play in Belfast soon after I bought this and what a treat that was - they didn't pause for breath - the audience was almost as exhausted as they were by the end.
If you want an introduction to fantastic pop/rock/folk music, written and sung without apology by a great band from Scotland, this is a brilliant introduction that you'll return to many times.

Fun music to listen to
Excellent music from the Scotts duo. 5 well known songs and the rest are more traditional and autobiographical but most have quite entertaining lyrics

Lovely
I'm a bit of an addict but this is good entry-level Proclaimers for people who haven't heard them in a while.

All done with mirrors...
It's a popular misconception that the Proclaimers are two brothers from Wales, but this is in fact untrue. Read more

Less is More
A decent compilation showcasing the depth of The Proclaimers' work. Only problem is that this re-issue is exactly the same as the previous Best of, but for the addition of the new... Read more
