Red Roses For Me (40th Anniversary)

On 15th October 1984, The Pogues released their debut album 'Red Roses For Me'. To celebrate the 40th anniversary, warner UK will 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.
