Bops, Babes, Booze And Bovver

The inimitable Shane McGowan's debut recordings made for Soho Records when he was a punk rockabilly. Also featuring future Men They Could't Hang bassist Shanne Bradley. This is an important piece of secondary punk history. It almost fully documents the first band Shane MacGowan recorded with, collecting both sides of the first three singles by the Nipple Erectors / Nips, as well as adding four outtakes: So Pissed Off and Stavordale Rd, N5 (first issued on LP in 1987), and Venus in Bother Boots and Fuss and Bother (which make their debut on this compilation).
