The Story
Two CD set. Digitally remastered and expanded edition. 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. 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. Irreverent, powerful, unique and spirited, this album was the beginning of an incredible and unflinching journey for a London-Irish band whose music sparkles with the genius of it's songwriting.
