Collections

The Pogues end up on a lot of collections; both of their own works (The Best of The Pogues, The Rest Of The Best, The Ultimate Collection, etc) as well as appearing on anthology collections (usually Christmas and/or Ireland themed). Here's an easy link to the commonly top level Pogues content (I recommend The Ultimate Collection as a good introduction to The Pogues work, and for the live CD2 featuring much of the performance from Brixton, 2001). Poke around, drill down:
