Dirty Old Town Platinum Collection

**Sun Aug 21, 2005 11:09 am**

At http://www.Ginza.se if you search for "Pogues" you can from the 1 September book a album called Dirty old Town.

Is this some kind of Bootleg or what is it?

Seems like a low price (£6.99) UK only release mix between "Rest of the Best and classics" compilation. :lol:

VibrantSound.com
Amazon.co.uk

Tracklist is:
1. Streams Of Whiskey (MacGowan)
2. A Pair Of Brown Eyes (MacGowan)
3. Dirty Old Town (Ewan MacColl)
4. Sally Maclennane (MacGowan)
5. Dingle Regatta (Finer)
6. Turkish Song Of The Damned (MacGowan / Finer)
7. Metropolis (Finer)
8. Thousands Are Sailing (Chevron)
9. A Rainy Night In Soho (MacGowan)
10. Misty Morning Albert Bridge (Finer)
11. I'm A Man You Don't Meet Every Day (trad.)
12. Gridlock (Ranken / Finer)
13. Young Ned Of The Hill (Woods)
14. Tuesday Morning (Stacy)
15. Paris St. Germain (Stacy / Woods)
16. Drunken Boat (Fearnley)
17. Love You Til The End (Hunt)

What I think is interesting is that everybody has a writing credit on this one! Farytale and Irish Rover are missing!! It's not the common "Best of", "Very Best of", "Ultimate Collection" type of compilation.
7 songs sung by Shane.
3 instrumentals
7 sung by others

that's what I call fairness :lol:

And the tracklist is almost correct sorted from early to new. And since the label is WEA, I'm very sure this ain't no Bootleg!

while searching for the pogues online at hmv i came across "Dirty Old Town Platinum Collection". it says it will be realised on 19-9-2005. just wondering if anyone has any other information about it.

Warners are doing a series of these Platinum Collections with various bands on their roster. No big deal, just a budget compilation. I like it, it's got Drunken Boat on.

Mr Chevron: There is a Pogues CD called "Dirty Old Town" available on Amazon.co.uk - released september 12, - no track listing or any other details - front cover is from "Peace and Love" period. Do you know anything about this?

this is one pogues CD i will not be buying

It is a good cd with songs from the whole 'era' but why buy another best of cd yeah.

This would be a great starter though.

agreed because most discount CD's only have around 10 - 12 songs and only cover the most popular material

**Tue Sep 27, 2005 11:21 pm**

I wonder what the record is for the the most 'Best Of' albums by one band?

Come on lads let,s have something new, or old and new!
