The Pogues
Red Roses For Me
Warner Records UK - re-issue LP on 180g vinyl
The Pogues are a Celtic punkband from London, formed in 1982 and fronted by Shane MacGowan (RIP). The band reached international prominence in the 1980s and early 1990s. MacGowan left the band in 1991 due to drinking problems but the band continued first with Joe Strummer and then with Spider Stacy on vocals before breaking up in 1996. The band reformed in late 2001, and has been playing regularly ever since, most notably on the US East Coast around St Patrick's Day and across the UK and Ireland every December. The group has yet to record any new music and, according to Spider Stacy on Pogues.com, has no inclination to do so.
Their politically tinged music was informed by MacGowan and Stacy's punk backgrounds, yet used traditional Irish instruments such as the tin whistle, cittern, mandolin and accordion.
The Pogues were founded in Kings Cross, a district of Central London, in 1982 as Pogue Mahone-pogue mahone being the anglicisation of the Irish póg mo thóin, meaning "kiss my arse". (Wikipedia).
This re-ssue with original artwork designs of ‘Red Roses For Me’ uses the 2013 remix from the original multi-track tapes by Nick Robbins who was the original engineer of the album in 1984
