THE POGUES - Red Roses For Me (40th Anniversary Deluxe Edition) - 2CD [OCT 18]

2CD - Limited 40th Anniversary Deluxe Edition Double CD. Includes 2013 remix plus a bonus disc of B-sides and BBC sessions from 1984.

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.

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.
