Win A Copy of The Fairytale of New York / The Pogues and Kirsty MacColl

The greatest greatest Christmas song never to get to number one? Quite probably. The Pogues and Kirsty MacColl peaked at number two in the UK in 1987 with Fairytale Of New York, kept of the top spot by the Pet Shop Boys massive selling Always On My Mind single.

Rhino are celebrating what is the 25th anniversary of the record by reissuing it, but as well as the usual digital versions (single, instrumental and video) they have also issued physical version in the shape of a limited edition seven-inch vinyl, with some fine new artwork and the physical debut of the instrumental version of the track on the B-side.

This seven-inch is limited to just 2000 copies and is out today available from Rough Trade Records. The digital versions can be found on iTunes.

We have a copy of the vinyl to give awayleave a comment to enter and we’ll pick a winner on Monday 10th December.

In the meantime, why not join the Facebook campaign to get Fairytale of New York to number one this Christmas.

  1. What a great song, a real tearjerker, specially that Kirsty is gone and Shane can barely stand up long enough to croak out a few blehhs; never will lose its emotional wallop.

  2. Sooo LOVE this song and we have a jukebox that can play 7″ vinyl too – we’ve just put our xmas songs on – all sorts from Elvis Presley to Bruce Springsteen..

  3. My very favourite Xmas song. Whenever I hear this for the first time on the radio in the run up to Xmas, I smile, as it really makes me feel that Christmas is coming!

    1. 16aec351ebHey would you mind sharing which blog ptfraolm you’re using? I’m planning to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a tough time selecting between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something unique. P.S Sorry for getting off-topic but I had to ask! 185

  4. I love that this song took years for the band to finally perfect through such a wide set of influences and inspiration. Which is probably why it’s stood the test of time so well. A timeless tribute to Kirsty MacColl too.

  5. “Fairytale” is a great, great song. But it’s not the only great X-mas tune never get to no. 1. “Driving Home For Christmas” by Chris Rea only made it to no. 53 when first released in 1988 and no. 33 in 2007. Just sayin’…!

  6. One of the best Christmas songs ever written and recorded. It swings from despair, anger and disappointment with unfulfilled dreams, to bittersweet, melancholic hope. An all-time classic that’s on my playlist every Christmas since I first heard it.

  7. The greatest song ever written, Christmas or otherwise. Shane’s poetry, the Pogues peerless musicianship and the much missed Kirsty Maccoll’s beautiful vocal sparring with Macgowan. I could have been someone. Well so could anyone…

  8. there was a wonderful documentary on the song on BBC$ a couple of years back. My favourite Christmas song but reminds me of how much I miss the great Kirsty MacColl every year

  9. Played alongside the pogues at the strummer of love festival and they are still as good as the last time i saw them at the mean fiddler in 84.. No1 enough said..

  10. The best & most unorthodox Xmas song ever. The combination of that gravel voice with the voice of a siren it’s magical. It shouldn’t work but it worked.

  11. It only gets better as the years pass by.
    Makes me feel sad that it is 25 years old though, that is as old as The Beatles’ Love Me Do was when Fairytale first came out.

  12. I saw Kirsty and Shane perform this at the Alexandra Palace when she supported Morrissey. This song is the only thing I remember from that night.
