Pogues Box-Set Features Strummer Rarity
The Pogues celebrate what is a very big birthday with their 30 Years box-set, which drops on December 13.
Along with a fairly straight run through of their back catalogue, the 8CD monster includes a previously unreleased 1991 gig which, with Shane out of action, found the band fronted by Joe Strummer.
That’s reflected by the 22-song set including such Clash-penned/associated gems as ‘London Calling’, ‘Straight To Hell’, ‘I Fought The Law’ and ‘Brand New Cadillac’. Shambolic and wonderful in equal measures, it’s worth the price of admission on its own!
