Description

The first Proclaimers album.

This Is the Story is the debut studio album from Scottish rock duo The Proclaimers, released in 1987. It was originally released with 12 tracks but after the success of the Gerry Rafferty-produced full band version of "Letter from America", which reached number 3 in the UK Single Chart, it was re-pressed later that year with that track added (This Edition).

Featuring a stripped-back musical arrangement, the instrumentation on This Is The Story consisted exclusively of hand percussion, acoustic guitar and vocals and set them (on their way) to a successful career.

External Reviews

"The Proclaimers first album is a powerful statement."

"I guess the albums genius is simply down to the talent of The Proclaimers, as the album doesn't depend on virtuoso musicianship or surgical studio production. Instead all you get is solid song writing delivered with a gritty sort of integrity. The atmosphere blows hot and cold throughout with moments of wry humour supported with abrupt honesty about the cold facts of life."

"The Reid brothers harmonies are in full swell here." - Amazon Reviews
