The CD was created in 1984 and arrived today in perfect condition, it's so wonderful to listen to this album playing perfectly today after all those years! And the Pogues are such a wonderful memory, listening to this today and I'd buy them a drink without having to be lent ten pounds!

This was the first album of theirs that I bought back in 1988, and it's still one of my favorites! Whenever I'm feeling down I play this lively music & it picks me up. I was introduced to this group by an old boyfriend & for that I will forever be grateful to him...well, at least for that anyway! They've been my favorite group ever since!
I love the way they incorporate traditional Irish music into they're punk rock sound (by 'punk rock' I don't mean Sex Pistols style) it's what makes their music so unique. You know it's the Pogues the moment the music begins, they have a sound that is theirs alone with their rough way of singing, the hard pronunciation of the words. They make me feel proud to be Irish-American!
Their ballads such as "Kitty" are so bittersweet, filled with such heartfelt sadness that is typical of a true Irish ballad...it actually makes me cry, as do most of their ballads. I don't know, maybe it helps if you know some Irish history...after all, theirs is one of the saddest.
You get a taste of Irish humor in the song "Boys From the County Hell" in the line, "lend me ten pounds and I'll buy you drink." Most of their lively music makes you want to get up & dance...& of course, have a few pints. This music goes well with a pint of Guinness!
Just a wee bit of trivia...their original band name was Pogue Mohone, which is the anglicized spelling version of the Irish Gaelic phrase "pog mo thoin" which means "kiss my arse." Is that great or what? It gives you an idea of their feisty Irish nature, for which they are so loved.
Well, that's all...enjoy! You might also enjoy their album/cd "If I Should Fall From Grace With God." The title song has an Irish nationalist, anti-British feel to it as is evident in the lines, "This land was always ours, was the proud land of our fathers. It belongs to us and them. Not to any of the others." I suppose the popularity of the Pogues amongst the Irish is in part due to their defiant lyrics...the conflict between the IRA & Britain was in full swing back then in Belfast. This album also has one of the songs they're most known for "Fairytale of New York." It also has one of the saddest ballads I've ever heard, "Streets of Sorrow."
Another must-have of theirs is "Peace and Love" with more sad ballads & lively tunes that make you want to grunt out the lyrics along with them!
Shane MacGowan wrote most of their songs, a truly talented storyteller...and sadly, also a severe alcoholic. He was also the lead singer until the rest of the band got tired of him showing up drunk and late or not at all. He now has another band, but he still drinks. It's incredibly sad to watch a good person slowly killing themselves, especially someone who is so talented.
The Pogues music conveys stories that draw you in and affect you deeply, in a profound way, whether it be sadness or joy...it's because their music is so full of passion.
There isn't one single Pogues song that I don't like, and you can't say that about too many bands...at least none come to mind anyway.

A brilliant explosion

Sometimes things seem to connect with a past they don't actually belong to, but perhaps should have. Desiderata might seem to have been the work of a seventeenth century monk, but we now know it to have been written by a lawyer in 1927. The Ploughman's Lunch conjures visions of medieval farmworkers relaxing from their heavy toil over a wholesome refreshment, but was apparently conjured up by the English Country Cheese Council in 1960.
Red Roses For Me, with its organic marriage of Shane MacGowan's brilliant compositions and rowdy performances of traditional Irish drinking songs and rebel balladry, played on predominantly acoustic instruments, seems to embody hundreds of years of Ireland's musical history, but nobody has managed to come up any recorded precedents.

The former Shane O'Hooligan is the first to acknowledge his debt to such as the poets Brendan Behan and James Clarence Mangan, and musically to the Dubliners. However great they were, however, no Dubliners record could be mistaken for one by the Pogues, unless the Pogues were playing on it.

This astounding debut appeared fully-formed and gloriously unique, preceded only by their single Dark Streets Of London (in a slightly different version to that on the album), its surface shambolics belying a solid musical and lyrical depth and maturity. Red Roses For Me was produced by Stan Brennan, who ran Rocks Off Records in West One, where Shane sometimes served behind the counter. It was his long term mission to get the band off the ground, and he managed to pour the Pogue magic, unspilled and distilled, into the flagon at Wapping's tiny Elephant Studios.

The Anglo Celtic sound of the Pogues, fermented in London's glamorous King's Cross, is a mixture of pub and punk, both Shane and Mancunian Maestro Jimmy Fearnley having been veterans of punk band the Nips (formerly the Nipple Erectors), but played with an exuberance and an excellence that proved impossible to resist, despite the dark rising tide of New Romanticism, except by an old guard who thought the Pogues represented the stereotype of the drunken Irish paddy they were trying to escape. To be fair, it is rumoured that Shane likes a drink.
The album is embellished with six vital bonus tracks. And The Band Played Waltzing Matilda, Eric Bogle's chilling account of Gallipoli, was revisited on Rum, Sodomy And The Lash, but this is the original flipside of their debut single. You may know the song by Eric Bogle or June Tabor, but not like this. Repeal Of The Licensing Laws was the B-side of the (cleaned-up) Boys From The County Hell. The band returned to Elephant in 1985 to record the B-sides Whiskey You're The Devil and Muirshin Durkin, both for the single A Pair Of Brown Eyes, and The Wild Rover and The Leaving Of Liverpool backed up Sally MacLennane. Those last two A-sides are from Rum, Sodomy And The Lash, your next essential Pogues acquisition after this one.

Classic debut for an inimitable bunch of punk folkers

Their later records (“If I Should Fall from Grace with God”, “Rum, Sodomy & the Lash”might be more highly rated, but anyone who loves the Pogues should have “Red Roses for Me” too. So many great songs filtered through the punk/traditional sensibility of Shane MacGowan & Co that favorites are hard to pick. Surely Brendan Behan’s borstal classic “The Auld Triangle” was an inspired choice and “Transmetropolitan” is a striking opener. Be sure to get the reissue with bonus tracks and you’ll be stomping your foot and singing “The Wild Rover” when the disc spins to a close.
The notes include a heartfelt appreciation from film auteur Jim Jarmusch and an vivid reminiscence by Gavin Martin, plus many photos of the band.
Really a must!

They are all great in their own different ways

Raw, unpolished, brilliance...The first 3 pogues albums capture the band at their peak of creativity. They are all great in their own different ways. Red Roses is their debut and is alot less polished than the others and i feel this raw style of production suited them best. As much as i like Rum, sodomy, lash / if i should fall from grace they are slightly overpproduced in places. Although my favourite pogues songs are not on this album, as a full album Red Roses is possibly the best. The punk influence is most evident here and their raucous drunken energy is at its most passionate without feeling contrived as some of the later party tunes did. It has a real vibrant earthy energy that never drags. Really underrated gem
