The Damned get damned moody on The Black Album


The Damned : The History of the World ( Part 1)


On November 3, 1980 The Damned released The Black Album. Goth elements enter the band's punk sound. Originally, fans got two discs. The first is the studio album featuring the UK#51 single "The History of the World (Part1) ", "Wait For the Blackout" and "Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde". The second disc featured a strange 17 minute piece called "Curtain Call" on one side with live versions of fan favorites on the other. 



The second disc upset the band. Rat Scabies told the press "Just as we are trying to hammer home a value for money policy, the radio company come up a scalper!If any of our fans have been caught with this turkey, bring it to a gig and we'll autograph it as a gesture of good faith"
