But they are not a particularly daring one.Salaverri, Fernando (September 2005). Sólo éxitos: año a año, 1959–2002 (1sted.). Spain: Fundación Autor-SGAE. ISBN 84-8048-639-2.

BBC Radio Scotland - Deacon Blue: 30 Years of Raintown

Use italics (lyric) and bold (lyric) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part The special brew, with 853 bottles, was released on November 30 in collaboration with the Glasgow-based bottler Caskade and matured for 13 years in a single cask. On the release of the whisky, the band said: “We are delighted to celebrate 35 years of Raintown with this special lmited edition whisky, bottled by Glasgow’s own Caskade. It seems to rate as a classic, above the follow-ups, but although it's good quality material I think When the World Knows Your name is more polished and given the extra production etc that's probably to be expected.

I love Deacon Blue. Why? Because they try to be Prefab Sprout, and they succeed almost fully, therefore their music is great. Crucially though, they fail just enough to have their own character, their own personality.The album, widely praised as Deacon Blue's finest work, has the overtones of a concept album relating to the struggles of urban life in the inner city. The city being unmistakably Glasgow, referenced by the roots of the band and by the images by photographer Oscar Marzaroli on the cover of the album: the view of a rainy day over Glasgow's West End (with the Finnieston Crane featuring prominently).
