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, but it is DAMNED!
