Celebrate Five Decades of Defiance

In honour of The Boomtown Rats’ 50th Anniversary, we’re proud to present officially endorsed gold record editions of two of their most iconic albums: The Fine Art of Surfacing and A Tonic for the Troops. These limited collector’s items commemorate the band’s enduring influence on punk, new wave, and rock history.

Featured Gold Records

The Fine Art of Surfacing (1979)

This album catapulted the band into global fame with the unforgettable hit "I Don't Like Mondays", a hauntingly melodic protest song that topped charts worldwide. The album blends sharp social commentary with infectious hooks, showcasing the band’s evolution from punk roots to polished pop-rock.

  • I Don’t Like Mondays
  • Diamond Smiles
  • Someone’s Looking at You

A Tonic for the Troops (1978)

A bold and satirical masterpiece, this album features the energetic anthem "Rat Trap", the first UK No.1 single by an Irish rock band. With biting lyrics and theatrical flair, it’s a snapshot of the band’s fearless approach to music and storytelling.

  • Rat Trap
  • She’s So Modern
