5 Cotton Fields - Andrew on original release? Shane lead vocals on the 2013 Remaster. Shane always sang this live.

The track has Shane and Andrew singing together.

Ron Kavana told me that he played on a few of the tracks, Young Ned for sure.....he said it was not a great time for the band.....Shane decided to 'decorate' the walls of one of Rak's studios,this resulted in the bands management receiving a hefty bill for having the walls restored to their original colour scheme.Frank Murray must have gone apeshit!

I think Peace & Love suffered because it was the first album The Pogues made which wasn't a classic. I was hugely disappointed at the time it came out, though I really like it now. U.S.A. is, in my opinion, The Pogues must underrated track, both musically and lyrically.

I agree completely. I will say, though, that I thought it did benefit from the de-cluttering remix that Steve Lillywhite & James Fearnley gave it. That is the only version i listen to now.

Also the B-sides from P&L are a fabulous EP on their own:

Star of the County Down (B-side to "White City" 12")
The Limerick Rake (B-side to "Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah")
Train of Love (B-side to "Misty Morning, Albert Bridge" CD single)
Everyman Is a King (B-side to "White City")
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah (A-side single)
Honky Tonk Women (B-side to "Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah" 12")

I think there are a fair few underrated tracks on the album. I love Night Train to Lorca and London You're a Lady but can't recall ever hearing them live and they rarely merit a mention.

I've never known them to play Night Train to Lorca live but London You're a Lady was performed at various gigs in 1989

I don't think Sit Down by the Fire was ever performed live?
