The Medusa Fora

Hi all,
I'm currently compiling my own Pogues complete discography by pulling together various versions I've found on the net (mainly the one on this site and the one on the German Shane MacGowan site) and in books.
I was wondering if anyone could help me out with one point I can't fathom:
In the discography on this site, it says that for the first 3 albums (Red Roses, Rum and Grace) there are both Stiff and WEA versions (I'm obviously talking about the original intial 1984, 1985 and 1988 releases and not later re-releases).
Is this the case for all the different formats?
For example, does the Red Roses vinyl LP exist both as Stiff and WEA, and likewise for the cassette and the CD?
Or, for example, is only the LP/cassette Stiff and the CD WEA?
Thanks to anyone who can clarify.

There are indeed Stiff LP & CD releases of Red Roses and Rum Sodomy (original LP tracklistings too on the CD releases). These are harder to find than the WEA LP & CD releases. If you're up for it, there are also Russian CD releases of Red Roses and Rum Sodomy. Maybe somebody else can confirm this? Good luck with your collecting.

I think the French CD of Rum Sodomy - was it on Stiff or Off The Track ? - was the first ever Pogues CD.

Good one! Yes, the French release was Off The Track.
