Recycled Red Vinyl. 40th Anniversary Edition. Catalog Number: 5021732391261 Color: Red Format: LP UPC: 5021732391261 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's Kings Cross in the convulsive aftermath of the re-election of the Thatcher government. 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.
