Title: The Pogues – Red Roses For Me (40th Anniversary Edition) Format: coloured vinyl Label: Warner Barcode: 5021732391261
Release date: October 18th 2024
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.
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.
