The Pogues dedicated this release "to the 95 people who died at Hillsborough Football Ground." On 15 April 1989, supporters of the Liverpool Football Club were crushed to death at a FA cup semi-final match against Nottingham when police opened a gate which allowed hundred of fans to pour through onto an already packed terrace. The official death total is now at 96 (95 died at the stadium, one later in hospital) with another 730 injured, and to date, British justice has been unable or unwilling to hold any authorities (police officials who ordered the gate opened, sports/stadium officials who organized the event, etc.) responsible for the deaths. Also, on the front cover photo, note the boxer's right hand (he's got six fingers). - copied from http://www.poguetry.com/pnl.htm - The Parting Glass.

Bought this album when it came out and I was a young lad in Boston. Like a lot of Pogue songs, it's very rough around the edges but does relay a feeling of Ireland, its dirty streets but lovely green trees.
Reminds me of Ireland when I visited my girlfriend living there. We hitch hiked around the country for 2 weeks. Great way to see the countryside but an even better way to meet the people, talk with them, understand what it IS to be Irish, not just an impression of the beautiful landscape.
