Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
Following the pop-punk genius that is Machine Gun Etiquette proved not to be the easiest task for these British punk rock pioneers (not that this is a bad album, by any means). Released as a sprawling, eclectic, and head-scratching double LP in 1980, the nods to the Beatles' White Album are obvious, though not overt. This is a hodgepodge of an album that veers from some of the biggest mistakes the band ever made ("History fo the World, Pt. 1") to their most skeweringly delicious ("Lively Arts") and simply balls-out vicious ("Wait For The Blackout"). If you enjoy albums where you don't know what's going to come next, this one's for you. There's even a twelve minute tune from these three chord wonders, and it doesn't suck. Aside from being newly remastered, this double CD version of the album adds every 7" song the band released in 1980 as well. –Mike McGonigal

Product Description
A Long Overdue Upgrade, Adding the Singles Released in 1980 and the B-sides. Also Included is the Previously Unheard Original Mix of the Extended Version of 'white Rabbit'.

5.0 out of 5 stars i agree with the previous reviewer, January 4, 2006
its about time this forgotten album was released the correct way..the music sounds much better here than on the old one...you can actually listen to it without turning the volume way up to the highest notch...well so far so good..they are on a roll re-mastering damned albums..their debut, music for pleasure, recently along with this one machine gun etiquette and strawberries were issued on super bonus editions..hell, even their half album "im alright jack and the beanstalk" was reissued...now if we can only get "phantasmagoria" and "anything" remastered...their album anything is even selling for 50 bucks or something on here..and its used!..oh well i cannot complain. the guys at chiswick know what their customers want well..im very pleased with this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Black n' Damned, April 3, 2006
By ThrEaD NUGENT (Newport Beach, CA United States) - See all my reviews
Thank God! Finally what all of us BiG Beat cd owning fans have been waiting for since the 80's!! I went through 2 of those cds and have 3 copies on vinyl (IRS US, Chiswick UK and Chiswick Italian). I dumped all of my Damned Big Beat vinyl, can't have damned re-releases can we? W/ that said this is THE Ultimate Black Album, compiles all the b-sides that could have made up a 4th album side....back in the days of cassetes I made a compilation a re-sequenced the songs. Now I'll be able to do that again...What a blast from the past....This may be the Damned at their finest. Totally essential.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally!!!, January 2, 2006
By rayqbn "rayqbn" (Hillsborough, New Jersey USA) - See all my reviews
Finally, I can chuck my old, crackly, worn out Big Beat copy(CDWIK 906) of the great Black Album and pop this new reissue in and rock out to The Damned at their psychedelic punk peak. This is The Damned at the top of their game. The bonus disc is indeed a bonus because you get 'side four' of the original 2 LP set, consisting of 6 live tracks from a fan club only show a.k.a. Live At Shepperton, plus all the other 1980 issued recordings, a's & b's(White Rabbit single, History Of The World single, and There Ain't No Sanity Clause single). Ok, the extended White Rabbit alt. mix might be unnecessary, but grab it!
