Our Town – The Greatest Hits

Our Town – The Greatest Hits is the first greatest hits compilation album by the Scottish rock band Deacon Blue. The album reached the top spot of the UK Albums Chart in May 1994 for two weeks, and has been certified Platinum. It was also their second and final number one album to date. It is also notable for being the 500th number one album since the charts inception in 1956.

The album contains the previous singles from the band, minus "Closing Time" and "Hang Your Head". The album also contains three new tracks: "I Was Right and You Were Wrong", the first single from this album, expanded the musical direction the band had taken on the album Whatever You Say, Say Nothing. "Bound to Love" and "Still in the Mood" are pop songs in the tradition of Deacon Blue's earlier albums.

The vinyl LP version of the album contains a fourth new track, "Beautiful Stranger".

"Dignity" was released, for the third time, as the second single from the album.
