Album · 1979 · 11 Songs. The Damned reformed for its third album without guitarist and chief songwriter Brian James, moving Captain Sensible to guitar (and keyboards) and bringing in The Saints' Algy Ward on bass; he lasted for just this record. Despite being disheveled, the group put together one of the finest albums of its career.

Machine Gun Etiquette The Damned. Formed in 1976, the Damned were Britain's first punk rock band. By 1979 they had managed to disintegrate and re-assemble, way before it was fashionable. By then punk rock and its neater sibling, new wave, were regularly producing real hits in the UK and the Damned were no exception, with three hit singles drawn from the MACHINE GUN ETIQUETTE LP released that year. The new version of the band that emerged in 1979 had Rat Scabies and Dave Vanian on drums and vocals as before, but Captain Sensible had switched to guitar with Algy Ward coming in on bass. Also there are alternative versions of all three A-sides and finally the video clip for Plan 9, Channel 7. It is such a complete album that I didn't want to clutter it up with demos and out-takes. Maybe they'll appear elsewhere someday.

Machine Gun Etiquette. Damned Format: Audio Cassette. Finally, the Damned's crowning glory in superbly remastered form, and a well annotated booklet. If any Damned release deserves the deluxe treatment, it is Machine Gun Etiquette. Smart pop hooks, razor sharp playing, humor and a wild sense of abandon permeate the songs. And oh the songs: Smash It Up, I Just Can't Be Happy Today, Anti Pope, Plan 9 Channel 7, all classics!
