Sleeve: Twins Craig and Charlie Reid with twin megaphones on the front and by the Leith sea front on the back.
Sleevenotes: “Soundtrack to my life” essay by fellow Scot David Tennant, who first saw the Caledonian Everlys on The Tube when a geeky 16. Lyrics and collages of photos and single and album sleeves add to memories of so many pairs of glasses.
Content: 30 tracks of raucous romance, rousing Scottish politics, Hibernian worship and blue-eyed soul and fiery folk pop, chosen from 118 songs on nine albums and one EP, from 1987’s This Is The Story to 2012’s Like Comedy.
High point: Oh Jean, the best ever expression of a man going overboard in love.
Low point: Oh Jean has to end.
Any glaring omissions? Original unadorned version of Letter From America.
Anything new? Not Cynical, rousing love song for long-married, grown-up days.
Cheerful or tearful excuse for release? If you enjoyed Sunshine On Leith, the musical or last year’s film version, here’s your chance to re-live the songs.
