"Ever since The Very Best of The Pogues - the one with the silver cover and which appeared without any consultation with the band whatsoever, we have sought - and won - input into everything that comes out under our name. Nobody loves yet another repackaging but, if they're going to do them, we might as well be able to at least stand by them." - Philip Chevron, February 2013.
I THINK this was also subsequently released without the slipcase (i.e. just a standard jewel case), whether or not the barcode/cat no was any different I'm not sure - sure it'll turn up soon enough if so.
I bought my copy from Woolworths, which is a weird thought nowadays!
A fantastic compilation, the one slight glitch being the glaring omission of "Thousands Are Sailing" which should never be left off ANY Pogues "best of" for any reason whatsoever.
