A true Christmas classic. Fairytale of New York remains one of the most iconic festive songs ever recorded — beautifully rough, emotional and unmistakably The Pogues. This limited Zoetrope picture disc brings the artwork to life as it spins, turning a beloved single into a proper collector’s piece. Includes both the original version and rare live recordings from Glasgow Barrowland in 1987.
💡 Fact: Shane MacGowan and Kirsty MacColl didn’t actually record their vocals together — they were laid down separately due to scheduling issues.
