Nah, not guilty on these ones. I believe Costello considered these tracks his "revenge" on the folk scene that had rejected him in the early 70s.

If I had to make a guess I would say it is Frank Murray, the Pogues manager. It's definitely an Irish accent anyway. It's NOT Spider. Terry wasn't in the band yet or Phil.

It sounds like Jem Finer to me.


I don't know if he were even in the band at that time but I always imagined that it was Mr Woods. (This is just a thought, it may not even be CLOSE to correct).

John.


It's the other way round mate :wink:

I think its referring to the part of the last chorus "When I return united we will be" Spider seems to shout it out a little louder and a little before the rest of the band. It’s quite distinctively Spider’s voice.

If you mean back vocal in the chorus - Andrew Ranken..

The Pouges reissued their 1984 album Red Roses For Me in 2004 to include 6 bonus tracks, one of those tracks being "The Leaving of Liverpool". Shane's singing lead, but who shouts out "One more time!" towards the end of the song. I'm pretty sure it's not Spider as we hear him echo "We will be!" around the same time and it's not the same voice.

P.S. - Yes I realize it's kind of a pointless question but I don't care.

Hello.

Thank you.
