In August of 1985 The Pogues released their sophomore album.

It was produced by Elvis Costello and recorded at Elephant Studios in Wapping, London. Of the recording process itself, Costello had this to say:

“I saw my task was to capture them in their dilapidated glory before some more professional producer fucked them up.”
