The Pogues Get Expanded Reissue Treatment

The Pogues When the Pogues finished playing, you howled out for more. And, saints be praised, Rhino Records answered.

Now grab a pint or two and get ready to curl up all over again with the Celtic folk-punk band's first five albums, like you've never quite heard them before. Red Roses for Me (1984), Rum Sodomy & the Lash (1985), If I Should Fall From Grace With God (1988), Peace & Love (1989), and Hell's Ditch (1990) will each see an expanded and remastered reissue on September 19, courtesy of Rhino.

In total, the releases will feature 31 bonus tracks, including a cover of the Rolling Stones' "Honky Tonk Women" and four songs from the band's 1986 EP, Poguetry in Motion. Classic.
