The Pogues are celebrating the 40th anniversary edition of their classic 1985 album Rum Sodomy & The Lash with a newly-expanded reissue of the record.
The new reissue will be available in a two-LP vinyl edition and a two-CD set. Both editions will feature the original Elvis Costello-produced album and two single B-sides, along with a bonus disc that compiles 1986's Poguetry In Motion EP, with four songs from a BBC Radio 1 session taped for DJ Janice Long's show, two live B-sides recorded at Glasgow Barrowland, and a cover of The Lovin’ Spoonfuls Do You Believe In Magic.
The CD edition of the reissue will be available from September 19 (October 24 in America), with the vinyl edition following on October 24 (US, November 28).
