If This is Rock and Roll… reached No.1 in Ireland on its release, and went on to sell over a half a million copies worldwide, on the back of the hit single ‘I Useta Lover’ – which stayed at the top of the Irish charts for nine weeks in 1991.

The new vinyl reissue features 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’.

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 also produced a 20-page souvenir booklet to accompany the vinyl reissue. The booklet will include stories and memories from band members, Pearse Doherty, John Burke, John Donnelly, Davy Carton and Leo Moran on the writing and recording of the debut album in Loco Studios in Wales, as well as archive photos by Frank Miller from the debut album photo shoot in Galway in March 1991.
