It might have come to your attention that I'm not a regular poster of love and understanding, which you will just have to get used to. I will however, have bursts of creativity where I move completely randomly from post to post with no rhyme or reason.Some of the rips are my own, but many more are from other blogs on the interweb and I’m just sharing the wealth.Should you have any Questions, Comments, Ideas, Re-up Requests or just general straight forward Requests post them in the relevant comments boxes and I’ll get back to you. This may be neither the time nor the place to admit thatI never got to see the Sex Pistols play.
I did drive to Derby one night tocatch them on tour but upon arriving at the venue found only a hand-writtennote stuck to the door announcing that the gig was off. In a strange way, Iwasn’t disappointed – a cancelled gig seemed decidedly more Punk than one thatwent ahead. I never saw The Clash either, although I almost saw them at one ofthose 100 Club gigs on London’s Oxford Street but had to leave to do my radio programmebefore they came on. I did just catch Birmingham’s Nightingales though andthought their song, “VD”, which consisted of little but a second or two of wild-eyedstrumming and the shouted words “I’ve got VD” – as fine as anything I heard inall of that astonishing Punk year. It remains one of the few songs I can singin its entirety.
A very strong twin 12” EP set, recorded live in thestudio at BBC Maida Vale in late 1976 and early ’77. The Damned were at theirpeak and some versions here are as good as, if not better, than the originals.' Neat, Neat, Neat,' 'New Rose,' 'I Fall,' andmost of the other songs that make up their debut are here. The band proves itsversatility, going from the raging punk of 'So Messed Up,' which is asmenacing as anything the Sex Pistols ever recorded, to the very Doors-ish'Feel the Pain.' A highly recommended listen that proves the Damnedwere a step above the majority of their punk brethren.
