Back catalogue: All genres

Review: The Pogues' Red Roses For Me remains a seminal debut, being a shinning light during the post-Thatcher London with its energetic fusion of traditional melodies and punk fervor. Celebrating its 40th anniversary with new recycled red vinyl, gives this package an excellent look. The Pogues are not just musicians but are a bold statement against mainstream trends of the time. Their spirited interpretations weave themes of love, loss, and revelry into an infectious blend that resonates with listeners. Described as a charmingly flawed and wholly compelling compilation, the album reflects the exuberant spirit of their live performances. Its compelling mix of heartfelt ballads and boisterous jigs captures the chaotic beauty of the band's identity, showing the brilliance of Shane MacGowan's songwriting. After four decades, Red Roses For Me continues to illuminate the path for a generation, proving that its allure and rebellious spirit endure.

Review: First released in 1992 on CD only, this comprehensive compilation of The Pogues' mid-career set of highlights is not your usual career retrospective. Rather than emphasising their most obvious tunes, this record specifically concerned the period 1984-1990, in which time the Anglo-Irish folk, rock and pop band delivered their enduring cover of Rolling Stones' 'Honky Tonk Woman', as well as such prime-cut originals as 'Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah', 'The Sunny Side Of The Street', 'Dark Streets Of London' and more. Now released on limited edition green vinyl for the first time ever, you vinyl preferrers too may sing and swing with this most raucous of cross-Channel belligerent bands, notably zooming back largely to the period before their drunken Christmas smash 'Fairytale Of New York' came to be.
