Product Details

Released in 1980, The Black Album arrived as punk's first generation was splintering and mutating, and The Damned leaned hard into the chaos, stretching tracks toward gothic atmospherics and psychedelia while their peers played it safe. Captain Sensible, Dave Vanian, and the rest of the band were operating at a genuinely restless creative peak here, producing a double album that pointed toward the post-punk and goth movements before either had a name.

2 CD set. Following in the wake of the success of Machine Gun Etiquette 25th anniversary, the Black Album gets the same treatment with a long overdue upgrade adding the singles released in 1980 and the flips. The lavish booklet features comprehensive notes with details about the recordings never before revealed and many previously unseen shots of the band from the studio and from the Rockfield sessions. Also included is the original mix of extended version of 'White Rabbit' which has never been heard and the single B-sides 'Seagulls', 'I Believe the Impossible' and 'Sugar And Spite' appear on CD for the first time. 27 tracks. Big Beat Records. 2005.
