Review
A very special compilation of rare versions and oddities from oddball punk legends, The Damned!
Includes incredible live performances of Damned classics Shut It, Love Song, Smash It Up, Testify and more PLUS demos and alternate mixes that every fan will enjoy!
The artistic impact of The Damned rivals that of The Clash and The Sex Pistols but, unlike many of their peers, The Damned continues to release new material to immense critical acclaim!
Not just for completists, this compilation is an essential education of one of punk rock s most enduring legacies!
In the recorded history of legendary 70s UK punk icons The Damned, there is no such thing as a dull moment. Despite the fact that you could sink a ship with the number of alternating members, The Damned have managed to reinvent themselves, time and again, over the course of dozens of studio albums and almost as many live recordings, which altogether form the band s spectacular legacy. The music - outrageous, fun and strikingly theatrical - reflects the magnetic cult of personality that surrounded the band and drew millions of fans to its center. Songs like Shut It, Smash It Up (later covered by modern punksters, The Offspring), Love Song and others have appeared in various formats in a plethora of different incarnations, each one an essential piece of The Damned puzzle. Now, Anarchy Music has taken the very best of these rare tracks and compiled them together to create one amazing collection, which not only diehard completists will treasure but even those new to the flock. Punk s not dead, just DAMNED! --Cleopatra Records
