On 15th October 1984, The Pogues released their debut album ‘Red Roses For Me’. To celebrate the 40th anniversary, we’ll be releasing a special 1LP on recycled red vinyl and 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.
