The Pogues - Poguetry In Motion 12'' EP (1986)



Nope its not Fairytale Of New York! Its the fabulous Poguetry In Motion EP featuring the original version of A Rainy Night In Soho not the terrible revamped version you find on compilations. Probably the best love song ever written and definately my favourite Pogues song out of very many.

You can say what you like about Shane Macgowan. The man is a genius and the first 3 songs of this EP are the band at their best. I have great memories of seeing the band live. Superb on their day. And awful on others when Shane manages 2 songs and can't even sit down never mind stand up!

Tracks

1) London Girl
2) A Rainy Night In Soho
3) The Body Of An American
4) Planxty Noel Hill
