Well, it's me on BVs both the BBC and Straight To Hell versions, though I can't claim any input in the composition of the song. If they gave out writing credits for vocal arrangements, I'd be a very rich man by now. 8)

Its a great song. One of my favourites at the moment.I have just beeen playing it its a great riff and the instrumental chord progression really goes ,(isnt it similar to NW3 and Mother Mo Chroi , I might be worng )
I just got the box set and i am slowly working through it . I avent listened to cisk 4 and 5 yet i am savouring it!
NW3 is a gem and the version of Rake on here is too. Its got great enegy , better than the other 2 ive got. I always thought it sounded brilliant at the end of the film Straight to Hell. It seems faster on there than the soundtrack.
I surprised this song never made it onto an album. Thought it wpould have fitted good on IISFFGWG:D

I have two versions of the song....One from the Sid and Nancy soundtrack and a slower "country" version that may have been the one used in the actual movie..the slow one is pretty cool. I thought it would make an appearance in the box set along with the slow version of Fall From Grace (the version in the box set is similar but a little faster)...

Is there any release of Rake of the Gates of Hell. I remember having it on the album of Straight to Hell, but that is long gone. Will I just have to wait for the box set? I can't get that song out of my head!

Thanks!


Apart from the Straight To Hell Returns version, the BBC Radio version will be on the box set, released April 28.


:?: Was there another different version on the "Straight To Hell" cassette release?
P.S. Will "The Good, The Bad & The Ugly" be making it onto the box-set as it was missing from the "Straight To Hell Returns" rerelease?


On the first question, I've no idea, it's quite possible.

On the second question, yes.

Belvis, seek out the Straight To Hell Returns CD. It features Rake At the Gates of Hell, plus all the other atmospheric instrumentals that the Pogues did for the film, also the original country version of If I Should Fall From Grace With God

We first recorded it for the BBC in 1986 and then for the Straight To Hell soundtrack in 1987. I can't say I've ever heard the Pope's version.


You've not missed much :shock:

I'm quite partial to the Popes and their work with Shane and I do like their version of King Of The Bop. I can understand the 'want' for Shane to rework Pogues tunes with the Popes, but on some of the more complex tunes, it's not going to work.

I have recordings done by both The Pogues (on the Straight to Hell soundtrack) and The Popes.

Is there a photo of it anywhere, Kathleen?


I think I sent one out before. I'll dig one up and post it again. Its all about how dogs are better judgements of ones character than either god or people.


Thanks! :)
