Subject: CRD/TAB: Selections from Pogues' "The Best Of The Rest"

Hi folks!

  I just recently discovered the Pogues, and have been listening to little
else for the past couple weeks.  (This is after a long struggle to find
the Best Of The Pogues, v. I & II, which are out of print in the states.) 
After picking through several of the songs, I checked out OLGA and
discovered that, of all the great tracks on v.II (personally, I think it's
a better album than The Best Of The Pogues) only Young Ned Of The Hill and
Summer In Siam had been transcribed.

  So here, to fill that gap, are 8 songs from that collection.  My
commentary is in {braces}.
