The blue vinyl LP will feature all fifteen tracks from The Saw Doctors debut album including the Top 5 Irish singles ‘N17’, ‘Red Cortina’ and ‘That’s What She Said Last Night’ and live gig favourites ‘Why Do I Always Want You?’, 'Freedom Fighters' and ‘I Hope You Meet Again’. The cover of the green vinyl record of ‘If This Is Rock and Roll, I Want My Old Job Back’ is Frank Miller’s iconic photo of the fathers of the band members of The Saw Doctors, posing as rock stars live on stage in the Warwick Ballroom in Galway.

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the release of ‘If This Is Rock and Roll, I Want My Old Job Back’, The Saw Doctors have produced a 20 page souvenir booklet to accompany the blue vinyl LP.
