The Pogues - Red Roses for Me (40th Anniversary Red Vinyl)
On 15th October 1984, The Pogues released their debut album 'Red Roses For Me'. To celebrate the 40th anniversary, we'll be releasing a 2CD set with a version of the 2013 remix plus a bonus disc of B-sides and BBC sessions from 1984, and a special 1LP on recycled red vinyl.
After four decades, ‘Red Roses For Me’ is still celebrated as a groundbreaking debut album from an unlikely group of supposed ne’er-do-wells from London’s Kings Cross in the convulsive aftermath of the re-election of the Thatcher government. The album mashes traditional songs and instrumentals - about death and drink, love and London - with those of frontman Shane MacGowan's - and all fuelled by the punk ethos.
