Damned Damned Damned, the Damned's debut, came out on Stiff on 18 February 1977, and it holds the distinction of being the first album by a British punk band. Nick Lowe produced, and he mostly had the sense to stay out of the way: this is a blast of buzzsaw guitar from Brian James, Captain Sensible's bass and Rat Scabies' pummeling drums, and Dave Vanian hollering on top of the chaos.
"New Rose", already out as the first single by any UK punk band, is here, still careering downhill with no brakes, and "Neat Neat Neat" is every bit as frantic. The London four-piece had formed only the year before, and they didn't hold together long this time: after the next album was dismissed by critics, they split for a while.
