Damned, Damned, Damned (Stiff seez1) 1977
This debut is the absolute Damned at their damnedest! A time when the Captain was happy to be merely the manic bass player, Rat was the powerhouse drummer, Bryan James was slashing the fret boards with glee while Dave Vanian was Bela Lugosi on speed! From the high octane intro of 'Neat Neat Neat' to the sadistic strains of 'Feel The Pain' this albums 12 adrenaline rushes are mad, frantic and crave your attention fast! This punk rock time capsule captures their current stage set list on vinyl brilliantly. Not many albums can unleash this energy on one sitting. It's bottled up in a tiny recording booth and unleashed on an unsuspecting 1977 public. Another exceptional example of recording raw aggressive punk on a paltry budget proves if the intensity is there a flawed masterpiece can only be created. This LP captures the Damned at their destructible best! And like it says on the sleeve 'Made To Be Played Loud At Low Volume'...Punk Rock Classic - Peter Don't Care
