It's not? I'd swear I remember the Pogues performing it. Cait did vocals and everything.

Are you sure? Have you, perhaps, checked the "Singles" section of the Discography?

It's a Pogues tune, written by Shane, sung by Cait, played by The Pogues, produced by Craig Leon and featured in the Alex Cox movie Sid 'n' Nancy. The soundtrack to that movie, and therefore our single from it, are the property of MCA Records and would need to be licensed in by our own record company. Which it may well be when we do that box set.

Because the "hits" are the greatest.

Pretty much. But it is of course available, along with 12 other remastered Pogues track-ettes, on the Ace Records release Straight To Hell Returns

Hey Mr. Chevron,

How come the remastered Straight To Hell excluded the Pogues Rollicking version of The Good the Bad and The Ugly and Pray For Rain's excellant Money Guns and Coffee? (not that I'm complaining cause I really dig the remastered cd... especially the track that sounds kinda like the demo version of Wake of The Medusa... and Bolero is amazing too!

Can't answer for Pray For Rain, but the short answer to why we left out TGTBTU is that we didn't like it and it disrupted the flow of the soundtrack album. Licensing Rights for film use had apparently lapsed too, but that could probably have been overcome.

TGTBATU is of course available on the DVD release for those that want it

I have the original version with Cait on vocals, it is on The Pogues Volume One B-Sides and the Sid and Nancy soundtrack. I think the reason it hasn't been on any "greatest hits" compilations is just what Philip Chevron said above record company issues
