format: vinyl, LP, album, reissue

released: 2016

The Damned’s third album and a stonewall classic. Originally released in 1979 – this legendary album was the first from the revised line-up of Capt, Rat, Dave and Algy. This was the start of the Damned’s second time around which most of their hard core fans preferred to their original 1977 line up. Besides the three charting singles ‚Love Song‘, ‚Smash it Up‘ and ‚I Just Can’t Be Happy Today‘ there is also Dave Vanian’s epic tribute to Vampira ‚Plan 9, Channel 7‘, a cover of the MC5’s ‚Looking at You‘, and the manic ‚Anti-Pope‘. A wonderfully produced album with lots of little surprises hidden between the grooves.
