The Damned - The Best Of The Damned - Indie LP

LP — Reissue of the Classic 1981 Compilation

First released in 1981, The Best of the Damned gathers the band's classic singles, charting their evolution from punk pioneers to crafters of melodic, chart-bound pop. It rounds up gold-standard tracks like "Love Song," "Smash It Up (Parts 1 and 2)," "I Just Can't Be Happy Today," "History of the World (Part 1)," and the Christmas single "There Ain't No Sanity Clause," alongside the early punk classics "New Rose" and "Neat Neat Neat." This reissue faithfully replicates the original 1981 release, complete with inner sleeve and blackmail-lettering artwork.
