專輯介紹：
華文（原創翻譯）：非常具有蘇格蘭本土風格的兄弟樂隊The Proclaimers自從第一本專集大賣過後，一年後他們又出了一本專集叫著《Sunshine On Leith》。就是我現在分享這個專輯。由於我本身對愛丁堡有一些了解，所以對他們這個專輯的名字。在愛丁堡住過的人都知道，Leith其實是愛丁堡的一條大街。他們就是可以如此生活化，如此的唱入民心，唱的都是靠近你生活周圍的點點滴滴。不出意料之外的，唱片大賣。當時他們唱出的蘇格蘭人政治情況以及蘇格蘭人的熱情，直到今天仍然人人銘記在心內。他們的歌曲很常內容有關系到蘇格蘭人的苦衷，但是他們一種積極的心態去唱，去鼓勵蘇格蘭人。有人把他們的歌形容爲不自私的，喜悅的，興奮的。在短短的10個月內，他們在18個國家表演過145次。這本專集沒有想到售賣量竟然達到100萬！整個歐洲，美國，加拿大，紐西蘭，澳洲等地方都有超人的表現。這本專集的第一首歌，是chancheeching本身強烈推薦的。這隻樂隊的主人翁，Craig和Charlie也完成他們到美國表演的夢想。他們離開美國的時候，說了一句，‘四年之內，我們必定再回來的。’專集裏的那張封面照片，就是他們所觀望的Leith大街了。謝謝。希望大家喜歡。
英文：The Proclaimers followed the massive success of their debut album with Sunshine On Leith in August 1988. The Reid brothers' raw delivery was complemented by the country/rock scope of a full band. Pete Wingfield , the man behind Dexy's was brought in to produce. As ever with The Proclaimers their politics and passions were palpable, but never brow-beating. If their songs spoke of troubled soul-searching, they still bore a dignity at heart. If their songs were euphoric, it was a communal joy. These were selfless songs.
Over the next ten months they performed 145 times in 18 countries . Sunshine On Leith became a million seller, a hit throughout Europe and America, platinum in the UK, Canada and New Zealand and triple platinum in Australia, where I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles) stayed at number for six weeks. The single was a worldwide success. A lifetime's ambition was fulfilled as Craig and Charlie make their first visit to North America, touring for three months as I'm Gonna Be went top ten in the College Modern Rock Charts. The album and single refused to lie down well after the world tour had ended. Four years later, both would be back...
1990 saw a Europe wide top 10 hit with the classic song King Of The Road . But back in Edinburgh, the Reids' break was disrupted by a crisis at Hibernian Football Club. Diehard fans, they were to spearhead the Hands Off Hibs campaign against the threatened take-over by local rivals Heart of Midlothian. After a long fight the campaign was won and The Proclaimers were free to return to the business of writing songs.
