A Must Have For Any Pogues Fan

So much to hear, The Pogues put together one very worthwhile box set. Many b-sides, out-takes, and rarities, that leave even the biggest fan wondering "why have i not heard this before?" Good sound quality on majority of tracks, some demo tracks are not of highest quality, but it's fine, because it's the Pogues!
5 disc set, in beautiful packaging with outstanding written history, and interesting facts about each recording.
Personal favorites include: the "nice" version of Boys From The County Hell, Haunted [lead vocals by Cait O'Riordan], Maggie Mae, and a slew of great instrumentals.
If Shane could stay on his feet, he too would dance all night long. September 6, 2008

Can't Miss

For fans of the Pogues this is a no brainer, packed with previously unreleased material that will satisfy years of craving more from the band. Some below have complained that the set contains too much filler. For me this is like manna from heaven- great new tunes, several interesting covers (Do you believe in magic ) and good instrumentals. Well worth the wait. August 27, 2008

For Fans Only

Glad I bought this cause I love the band. Having said that, there's only about a half dozen tracks I'll ever listen to again. If nothing else this box set proves that their best stuff is on record already. August 17, 2008

Were there ever a doubt, The Pogues are among the great bands of rock history

OK, this is one of those projects that was built up by internet buzz for over three years. As such, the opportunity for disappointment and failure to meet expectations was high. I am a skeptic by nature and especially of the sort of buzz and hype that preceded this release.

Holy ****ing &%$#!!! If you've never been to a Pogues show, but know the material, listen to the live cuts of Sally MacLennane, Dirty Old Town, and The Sickbed of Cuchulainn first. These will confirm what Macgowan has always said, says on the rambling docu-bio "If I Should Fall From Grace. . .", that the Pogues should be recorded live. The energy on those tracks, from the band and the audience is truly extraordinary, and takes me back to New York in the late 80's when I first heard some of this music (at McSorley's Pub on E. 6th St; a night on which I was almost beaten for something unkind a companion said about the Irish). It's raw, it's warm, it's grrrreat fun, and it's a lasting beauty that attends little in popular music, say maybe Bob Dylan and a very few others.

Everything has been said in the other reviews about this set. I can only echo: "when will the other five discs be released"? And: "how about a tour of the US (not just the Northeast)?!" The fact that Shane MacGowan is still alive (look for a prediction of his imminent death to appear in print at least twice a year) is a marvel, and though I do actually say a prayer now and then that he will get sober (at 51 how much longer can he last?), his persistence in breathing the air is a testament to the energy and vitality of the music that flows through him and the band. I enjoy all of this, including the slurred singing from Shane-O (which, incidentally, has as much to do with his very poor dental health as the drinking). The variety, the new stuff, the old stuff in new versions, even the cinematic instrumentals are all a joy. Buy this if you like the Pogues, The Popes, and the genre they spawned, even a little bit. A keeper, a joy, a marvel. Thank you Phil Chevron for this great labor of love. May the Pogues (and Shane) be around and playing another 25 years! August 17, 2008

Seven Pogues walk into a pub.....

Prior to this purchase I knew nothing of the Pogues but several references to them that others had mentioned. As a matter of fact, prior to this box set I had never heard a Pogues song!

Since I've a passion for indulging in "new" music/groups introduced through the box set format (as here), and getting a particularly good price on this one, I went for it.

Fantastic! Wether rowdy Irish drinking songs, lusty ballads, social commentary, utter blarney, cool covers like 'eve of destruction' and 'the good,bad&ugly theme' (how cool is that?), punk, rock, Irish rebellion songs, traditional, etc et al. There is so much variety here and this box set is stuffed with music. I had no idea The Pogues were so talented, you know, sort of a poor man's Clash. Little did I know.

To understand that most of the tracks here were culled from their archives and not even on "official" releases boggles my mind!! The sound is crisp, full ranged, and never feels like anyones throwaway scraps.

The liner notes are detailed, insightful and presented in a way that truely raises the bar for well thought out box sets (the 4cd Faces book-sized 'Five guys walk into a bar' set comes to mind).

What a box! What a band! POGUES!!! Oh yeah August 14, 2008
