A Very good album indeed but don't go for the modern masters, they just sound lifeless and that is just missing the whole point of Shane and The Pogues: their music is Full Of Life - courtesy of John Fante. Get
https://discogs.librosgratis.biz/release/1318954-The-Pogues-Hells-Ditch or any original pre digital era version for this one - the sound is punchy, alive and real and raw, the soundstage wide - and for the other albums. New to the Pogues? Get If I should Fall From Grace With God and you're good to go🤘
