The Boomtown Rats
The First 50 Years - Songs Of Boomtown Glory

PRE-ORDER: EXPECTED TO SHIP 19 SEPTEMBER

The Boomtown Rats were one of the most successful bands of the 1970s in the UK. Their grown-up new wave and real time stories captured the imagination of a mass audience. As the leader of The Rats, Bob Geldof led his band of Dublin post-punkers right to the very top of the UK charts with UK No.1s Rat Trap and I Don’t Like Monday’s. THE FIRST 50 YEARS: SONGS OF BOOMTOWN GLORY on vinyl and CD celebrates the highlights of the group’s storied career.

In its gatefold sleeve with brand new artwork and commentary, all tracks have been
selected by the band themselves. Released to coincide with their 50th anniversary tour, this is the very best of the Boomtown Rats and a one-stop shop of their words and melodies.
