Well they do like a drink , and that should be Rum, Sodomy and the Lash anyway....

A perfect Pogues album , though not their best , this is the one that features the repainting of "Le Radeau del la Medusa" by J.L.A. Redault with band suoerimposed (you know the one with the raft) as the cover. It was produced by Elvis Costello who later married Cait O' Riordan who was with the band then.

It fires up in typical Pogues style with "The Sick Bed of Cuchulainn", a fast paced number before slowing down with "The Old Main Drag" about London "rent boys".

The album is full of beautiful ballads, usually with vehement stings hidden in their beautiful presentations. Songs like "Navigator" and "I'm A Man You Don't Meet Everyday" and the epic "The Band Played Waltzing Matilda" about an old Australian soldier returning from Galipoli.

It contains up tempo numbers as well like "Billy's Bones" and "Jesse James"

This is a faultless collection of some of the greatest songs ever written and together with "If I Should Fall From Grace With God" should all the Pogues you'll ever need. Again its widely available at mid price so you have no excuse for not purchasing this gem.

Good op. Love this album - 'Sally McLennane' is an all-time favourite of mine. (I used to do discos, played it once or twice, and everyone went so crazy to it that I had to put a smoocher on afterwards to calm them down!) Not being offensive I hope, Ciao, but 'Rum, Sodomy and the Slash'. Erm, is somebody taking the proverbial?
