The Damned epitomized every stereotype attached to Punk Rock and did it proudly. They were not here to toe the party line and didn’t really like management either, they made music the way they wanted it to be and were pretty handy musicians as well.
For 2 years The Damned recorded various singles amid line up changes, got banned by the BBC and had a smashing (literally) performance on the Old Grey Whistle Test. After the release of these singles and the success that followed The Damned signed to MCA records and notched up a number of chart hits. This collection features all the singles recorded in the now (in)famous Chiswick sessions before they moved to MCA. Enjoy!
