Philip Rambow: The Rebel Kind – Anthology 1972-2020, 3CD

We don’t often promote other releases but it’s a Kirsty and Chip Shop stalwart Philip Rambow anthology with a fabulous cover photo to boot! “With a booklet boasting sleeve-notes by journalist and long-time admirer Dave Thompson and a plethora of rare photos, THE REBEL KIND is the ultimate tribute to one of the most fondly-regarded if unsung musical talents around.”  Released May 29, 2020.

Something else to keep your spirits up 🙂

Mark E. Smith (The Fall) and Kirsty MacColl as guest reviewers on Night Network, The Video View.   January 16th 1988. Along with presenter Mick Brown, they are reviewing new singles releases for that week.  We haven’t seen this for ages, so let’s run it.

Stop Making Sense?  Andrà tutto bene!

For all of you out there self-isolating, join the club and listen to Kirsty to keep sane!

On St. Patrick’s Day in 1988, Kirsty was coaxed on to the stage to sing with the almighty Pogues.  Fairytale wasn’t always just dragged out at Christmas you know.  Sláinte!

March 1985 saw Polydor issue the ‘Kirsty MacColl’ album – basically a rehash of the real first album ‘Desperate Character’ but fiddled around with a bit. ‘Annie’ was supposed to appear on ‘The Real MacColl’ 2nd album but that never showed up either.
