V Deep was The Boomtown Rats' fifth album, and the first to be released after guitarist Gerry Cott left the group. It includes the minor hit single "House on Fire".
The name of the album is pronounced "five deep", not "vee deep" and refers to the fact that it's the band's fifth album and also that they became a five-piece following the departure of Gerry Cott.
All songs were written by Bob Geldof, except where noted.
