"Hit or Miss" comes from The Black Album, the Damned's fourth studio album, a sprawling double set that Chiswick released in 1980. The writing credit is split four ways, between Captain Sensible, Dave Vanian, Rat Scabies and Paul Gray, the new man on bass, playing on his first Damned album. The Damned produced it themselves, with Hugh Jones engineering.
The album found these English punks stretching well beyond their old turf and letting psychedelic colors seep into the sound, with "Curtain Call" hogging all of side three and a live set, taped at a Shepperton Studios show for fan club members, filling side four.
