    The Pogues

    Red Roses For Me - 40th Anniversary Edition

      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.

      The Pogues' Rum, Sodomy And The Lash - 33 1/3

        This album is the prime example of The Pogue's uncanny ability to evoke the lives of the drunken, downtrodden and abused.To absorb Rum, Sodomy, and the Lash is to be taken on a wild voyage with a cast of downtrodden revolutionaries. Despite this notion, the epic themes of the Pogues' second full length record have been overlooked by both critics and biographers in favor of two things: the band's penchant for combining Celtic folk with punk and the excesses of Shane MacGowan. Instead of reiterating these aspects, this book discusses, in the form of a sea-faring narrative, the record's articulation of what it is to be magnificently downtrodden.

        Through epic imagery gracing the cover of the album and reverberating throughout the lyrics, Roesgen's book shows that what the Pogues created is far more than pub-room music created by drunken men wallowing in Irish nostalgia and reveals a pining for something subversive."33 1/3" is a series of short books about a wide variety of albums, by artists ranging from James Brown to the Beastie Boys. Launched in September 2003, the series now contains over 50 titles and is acclaimed and loved by fans, musicians and scholars alike.

          The Pogues

          If I Should Fall From Grace With God

            Combining the spirit of Punk with traditional Irish Folk music, The Pogues were one of the most radical bands of the 1980’s.

            To celebrate over 30 Years of the Pogues, Rhino is reissuing the band’s first 5 classic albums along with the 1986 Elvis Costello produced EP ‘Poguetry In Motion’.
