Shane MacGowan’s tribute album 20th Century Paddy: The Songs of Shane MacGowan is out today on Rubyworks. The 36-track set is on streaming now, and in three physical formats: 3LP vinyl, a 2CD set, and a deluxe bookpack with liner notes, artists’ contributions, and Shane’s own drawings and memorabilia.

Victoria Mary Clarke, who curated it with Shane’s sister Siobhan, calls it “the most eclectic, extraordinary and exciting thing that has ever existed in the known Universe.”

The set also has The Libertines on “Sayonara,” Steve Earle on “If I Should Fall From Grace With God,” The Jesus and Mary Chain on “I’ll Be Your Handbag,” and Madra Salach on “Turkish Song of the Damned.” At least half of the artist royalties go to the Dublin Simon Community.
