Probably the greatest album you'll ever own, with excellent bonus tracks to boot. If you enjoy life you'll enjoy this record. The Pogues at their maddest (and sometimes saddest).
Listen with a beer in your hand..sing, shout, laugh and cry, to the Pogues at their magnificent best!

I've seen all sorts of lists of the 100 finest albums, and cry into my Guiness that this one hardly ever features. In my book it's No.1.
Every song tells a story, some funny, many sad, all historically accurate and none with any bias....19c navvies may have suffered harsh conditions, but at least they were tough enough to cope so no need to feel sorry eh Shane ?
The instrumentals are of the highest standard, but of course it's McGowans sly, rasping drawl that spits in yer eye and spills yer pint.
Magnificent.

This is a welcome rerelease of "Rum Sodomy and the Lash," the Pogues' second album. The sound is much brighter than on the 1994 CD release. It was probably remastered.
Even better, the disk includes four tracks from the 1980s EP "Poguetry in Motion." For some reason, the several "greatest hits" anthologies managed to overlook these gems: "Rainy Day in Soho," "London Girl," "Body of an American," and "Planxty Noel Hill." The last named is an instrumental jig; the other three are classic Sean Macgowan songs.

One of the most perfect albums I own.
I adore this album, this is the pogues at their best. Shane Mcgowans lyrics are a huge inspiration to me; full of sardonic wit, imagery of desperation, urban inequality, true grit... Read more

And the Band Played and Played...
`Rum, Sodomy and the Lash' was Winston Churchill's famous description of the British Royal Navy and somehow suits the album down to the ground. Read more
