This Is The Story

Description

The Proclaimers, formed by twin brothers Charlie and Craig Reid, emerged in 1987. The duo is renowned for their distinct Scottish accent and their infectiously melodic songs about love, politics, and life in Scotland. Well-known for memorable songs such as Sunshine on Leith, I’m On My Way, Letter from America, and of course, the hit single I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles).

This Is the Story is the debut studio album from The Proclaimers, originally released in 1987 and celebrating its 30th anniversary this year. It contains the Gerry Rafferty-produced full band version of Letter from America, which reached number 3 on the UK Singles Chart.
