THE DAMNED ‘DAMNED DAMNED DAMNED’ LP

LABEL: BMG
RELEASE DATE: 07/24/2026
VARIANT: Black Vinyl LP

The Damned blazed a trail when they became the very first British punk band to release a single, New Rose, on October 22, 1976, which was swiftly followed by the release of the very first British punk album, their classic debut long-player Damned Damned Damned, originally released by Stiff Records on February 18, 1977. Charting at #36 in the UK upon release, the album has reached legendary status over the 45 years since. At just a half an hour long, Damned Damned Damned is a stone cold classic of rock & roll fire and coupled with the bands take-no-prisoners aesthetic, the Damned left rhetoric for the theoreticians and political posing for the Clash. All the foursome wanted to do was rock. The original line-up of Dave Vanian, Captain Sensible, Brian James and Rat Scabies regrouped last year and will perform the album in its entirety in November 2026 on a one-off tour. Pressed on standard black vinyl.
