. . . . "Blue Is the Colour, released in October 1996, is The Beautiful South's fifth original album following the two singles \"Pretenders to the Throne\" and \"Dream a Little Dream\", which never featured on any album until the release of the second greatest hits Solid Bronze in 2001. It was named after a pub in Sheffield.The album continued the melancholic tone of its predecessor Miaow, and is generally considered to be the band's darkest effort, reflecting Heaton's life at the time."@en .
