Free Music Notes for Just Look Them Straight in the Eye & Say Poguemaho
Free Music Review: more than worth the price of admission
Hit: 5 Stars
One of the best collections I've ever experienced. Outtakes, demos, rare recordings, live recordings, all remastered for brilliant audio quality. Phil Chevron's notes are extensive and fascinating. The Pogues at their best, and an amazing listen from beginning to end.
A must-have and now one of the treasures of my collection.
Free Music Review: Get It
Hit: 4 Stars
I'll be brief: It's a really interesting and highly enjoyable compilation of early versions and songs you probably wouldn't expect to hear by the Pogues. Certainly not a greatest hits record but well worth the price if you like hearing what went into making songs and the unexpected. The booklet and packaging are thought out and informative -- a work of love. Thank you to whoever put this together!Free Music Review: If You Really Like The Pogues
Hit: 4 Stars
If you really like the Pogues, buy it. Its a great collectors item. Alot of pictures and stories by the band. Every song has details and dates. I made 2 cd length playlists you can listen to while your driving. The rest of it is interesting to hear also.I guess you could buy it used and maybe get the booklet but i really like the Pogues.Free Music Review: This is just for the Pogues fan but not worth the money for anybody else
Hit: 3 Stars
I was excited to hear this even though a two thirds of it is bad I'm a huge Pogues fan and if I wasn't such a fanatic about their stuff this would of been a total waste of money.
Hearing "NW3", the different versions of "Fairytale of New York", the live stuff and the Pogues version of Shane's solo songs like "Aisling", "Victoria" and "Dunigal Express" was worth the money. On the other hand most of the songs are duds, I mean come on who wants to hear Shane sing "Do you believe in magic" and "Eve of Destruction" all of the time!? I did want to hear them once or twice to see their creative motivation at the time but that is good enough for me. What's really sad was to hear Shane go downhill in the songs especially in "Aisling" he mumbled half of the time because he couldn't keep up with the song, his solo version from "The Snake" album is way better. And as a good little Pogues fan I have the songs from Sid and Nancy and from Straight to Hell so that's another disk I won't listen to.
I just picked out about an CD's worth of studio stuff and a CD worth of live stuff to listen to all of the time and the rest I'll enjoy maybe once a year.
Free Music Review: For hardcore fans and completists only
Hit: 3 Stars
I've been a fan of The Pogues since "Rum, Sodomy and the Lash", which I still own on vinyl. After a first listening of this set I am mildly disappointed. While the rarities and alternate versions are fine there is a fair amount of filler.
I may change my mind with a second or third listening, but I would recommend this set only for hardcore fans.
If you're new to The Pogues start with their first 5 CDs, preferably the new editions with bonus tracks, then move onto "The Snake" by Shane MacGowan. If you need more come back to this set.
