Rum,Sodomy And The Lash

Sealed brand new 180 gram album with free download voucher. Made in the EU.

Rum, Sodomy & the Lash is the second studio album by the London-based folk punk band The Pogues, released on 5 August 1985.^[1]

The album's title is taken from a quotation often misattributed to Winston Churchill:^[2] "Don't talk to me about naval tradition. It's nothing but rum, sodomy, and the lash." The title was suggested by drummer Andrew Ranken, who said "it seemed to sum up life in our band".^[2] The cover artwork is based on The Raft of the Medusa, a painting by Théodore Géricault, with the band members' faces replacing those of the men on the raft painted by the artist and illustrator Peter Mennim.^[3]
