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. It 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. Irreverent, powerful, unique and spirited, this album was the beginning of an incredible and unflinching journey for a London-Irish band. This recycled red vinyl contains the 2013 remix of the album.
