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 fueled 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 2CD set includes the 2013 remix of the album, B-Sides and a bonus disc of the band's BBC sessions from 1984.
