This month as well as finally releasing the \"David Vanian And The Phantom Chords\" album as a 2LP set we are delighted to also offer \"The Best Of The Damned.\" This album was originally released back in 1981 and pulled together the classic singles that the band had made for the label like 'Love Song', 'Smash It Up' (Parts 1 and 2)', 'I Just Can't Be Happy Today', 'History Of The World Part 1', 'Hit Or Miss', their Christmas single 'There Ain't No Sanity Clause' and 'Wait For The Blackout'. Not only are these now seen as gold-standard Damned tracks but also map out a musical development where they moved from their punk roots to crafting melodic pop songs that also took them into the charts. Better still, when originally pressed up in 1981 the album cannily also included those earlier classics punk classics 'New Rose' and 'Neat Neat Neat'. There's even Captain Sensible and the Softies' version of 'Jet Boy, Jet Girl' that appeared on the flip of 'Wait For The Blackout' in 1982. You don't mess with a classic so we have reissued the album just as it looked back in 1981, complete with inner sleeve and blackmail label lettering. Saying that, fans of the Damned both old and new will need no encouragement to add this to their collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSide One\u003cbr\u003e1 New Rose\u003cbr\u003e2 Love Song\u003cbr\u003e3 Neat Neat Neat\u003cbr\u003e4 I Just Can't Be Happy Today\u003cbr\u003e5 Jet Boy, Jet Girl\u003cbr\u003e6 Hit or Miss\u003cbr\u003e7 There Ain't No Sanity Clause\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSide Two\u003cbr\u003e1 Smash It Up (Parts 1 \u0026amp; 2)\u003cbr\u003e2 Plan 9 Channel 7\u003cbr\u003e3 Rabid (Over You)\u003cbr\u003e4 Wait for the Blackout\u003cbr\u003e5 History of the World Part 1\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AEC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42353733533830,"sku":"CWK6701711.1","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0088\/2959\/9806\/files\/damned-best-of.jpg?v=1754066860","url":"https:\/\/www.parasolrecords.com\/products\/damned-the-best-of-the-damned-lp","provider":"Parasol Mail Order","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
