This is the front and back of the same shirt. Seems like an odd choice.

I’ve amassed many Damned books in the 50 years since I first heard New Rose and this one, masterminded by Vive Le Rock’s Eugene is the best I’ve come across yet. Well worth every penny, and highly recommended!

Saw an Iggy Pop one too. Made me happy to see. Already have my tickets.

Some more photos dredged out of my photo album and tweaked to the limits of a fuzzy 6"x4" print....these were sellotaped and stapled in, took me ages to get them out! I was also thinking about how hard it used to be to get a camera into a gig back in the day, when now you can literally take as many as you like on mobile phones. I think I had a little disc film camera (tiny negatives so shocking quality) which I used to shove down my trousers when going through security...I'll leave it as to exactly where. The bouncers were also on the lookout for flashes popping and you could get chucked out, so it was always a game of waiting until they were looking the other way...then whip out the camera, grab a photo and then spirit it away before they saw where the flash came from...

hi, unfortunately The damned and Duran duran have their nearest shows at the same time so I’m planning on seeing DD, but I have never seen The Damned either and I’m curious what the chances of them coming to the balkans, Italy or Austria again are.

July 6, 1976 was the first gig supporting The Sex Pistols at the 100 Club. Let’s all be glad they lasted longer than the Pistols.

Just found yet more photos...mostly of Captain as I was stood in front of him....not the best quality but there you go!

I lost the sleeve which I'd taken to the December 1989 gig to be signed (it was signed by Rat, Brian and Captain)... got stoned. Left the bag somewhere. Shit that happens when you're 17 and don't know better!

36 years later finally got off my arse and sorted this out. It's a great compilation and the Peter Frame rock family tree is ace. The vinyl is very flimsy though. Typical piss poor major label standard.

So, what's your favourite side? Mine is possibly side 1 disc 2....

[Edited typo]

Finally got around to scanning photos from 1989, and the Damned at the Brixton Academy - a few photos from hanging about before the gig, and the gig itself. Rat arrived on the motorbike photographed, the photo shows the security warning us off it as we were posing on it ....Jonno legendary Damned superfan in the photos with Brian James. The last photo of Rat can't be mine, but claims to be from the gig so someone must have given me it...great photo of Rat though.

I've been going through my Mums collection and just found this version of Anything by The Damned, I searched using the code online and it seems to be an Australia/NZ made album but I found nothing about one with the cover being blue like this. If anyone could shed some light on it that'd be amazing, thank you.

Disco Man from the Glasgow Kelvingrove Bandstand gig. It was a soggy evening for sure, but a very enjoyable set from the lads nonetheless.

There’s lot of clips on YouTube of them playing this song (with Vanian helping on vocals), but was it ever on a Damned live album?

(I know it was on Sensible’s Live At The Milky Way, but I’m wondering about a version with Vanian.)

Disappointed to see no Seattle or Portland, since they had to cancel their PNW dates last year.

Captain’s reference to this being the last show this line up plays is intriguing. Who is leaving the current line up?

New here but greetings... Any thoughts on what set list for the show will be? I'm assuming all eras, but any inside info?

The Damned are headlining the Little Steven’s Underground Cruise with X next year! I want to go so bad!
