Rum, Sodomy, And The Lash 08/08/1989 Cassette, CD "...RUM, SODOMY, AND THE LASH is equally a landmark punk record and an authentic Irish cultural document. With lovelorn drunks, bustling taverns, beautiful countrysides and misbegotten encounters with the law, MacGowan's songs here are practically lyrical poetry and tributes to Irish literary heroes such as James Joyce..." -Alternative Press (7/95, p.98)
