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.
