The 1991 version [on the reissued Poguetry EP and as a single A side in its own right] was produced by Steve Lilliywhite and contains various elements from the original recording as well as several new parts. I can no longer remember which parts are from 1986 and which are from 1991, though I daresay Medusans with acute ears may be able to figure it out. Kirsty's backing vocal was new, obviously.
How did it come that Steve Lillywhite and the Pogues worked together again after Joe Strummer produced "Hell´s ditch" in 1990 ? Or was "Rainy night in Soho" recorded in 1989 and just released it 1991 ?
It was a one-off job, an attempt by Mr Warners to find a "new" hit single to go with The Best of The Pogues, I think.
Were you all happy with the new version ? I must confess I prefer any of the 1986 versions to the new one.
