[kj] OT The Damned New Album

[gingoblin at easynet.co.uk]

Yeah, the classic Damned years were 79-82 for me. Damned Damned Damned is 
an absolute classic too, but I always see it as separate in a way due to 
being (99%) Brian James' songwriting.  For it to REALLY be the Damned, it 
must be Vanian/Sensible/Scabies.  Anything else just doesn't quite do it 
for me, as good as it can sometimes be.

Still glad to have a new album by them though!
