The Pogues – “Red Roses For Me (40th Anniversary Edition)” (Released 18th October 2024)

Description

//Warner//

£29.99 – 1xLP, Limited Edition Recycled Red Vinyl

After four decades, ‘Red Roses For Me’ is still celebrated as a ground-breaking 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.
