THE DAMNED The Black Album (As The Damned continued to evolve beyond their initial punk blueprint, The Black Album captured a band unafraid to expand its sound. Originally released in 1980, the album introduced elements of psychedelia and a darker, gothic atmosphere while retaining the bite and momentum that defined their earlier work. Key singles "Wait For The Blackout" and "History Of The World Part 1" stand among the group's most accomplished recordings, while deeper cuts such as "13th Floor Vendetta" and "Drinking About My Baby" underline the album's depth and ambition. The third side is given entirely to the 17-minute "Curtain Call", one of the most audacious statements in The Damned's catalogue, while the fourth side rounds out the set with live recordings of classic tracks. Issued as part of the Ace Records 50th anniversary series, this edition is limited to 500 copies and pressed on White Vinyl. Single pocket picture sleeve with gold hype sticker, factory sealed).
