"Our Town - The Greatest Hits" is the first greatest hits compilation for the Scottish rock band Deacon Blue.

The album contains the previous singles from the band, minus "Closing Time" and "Hang Your Head". The album also contained three new tracks. "I Was Right and You Were Wrong", the first single from this album, was a pulsating Alternative rock track that continued and expanded the musical direction the band had taken with "Whatever You Say, Say Nothing". "Bound to Love" and "Still in the Mood" were pop songs in the tradition of Deacon Blue's earlier albums. The vinyl LP version of the album contained a fourth new track, "Beautiful Stranger".

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