TonyRevenge you cheeky twat, that pic at 2.55 of Paul Gray was taken on my camera at the Town & Country Club London in 1992, i'm standing next to him (which you just plastered another PG image over my face). You like ripping off other peoples shit? Maybe you should ask first before mutilating other peoples stuff and trying to pass it off as your own. The nerve.
Fantastic song... remember all those years back when it was released it sent my head spinning - still does....great video collage too - covers virtually all apects of their career.
Shit hot album. Ive just thrown all my Lps and singles in the skips. Mid life stuff,,,,i kept a single by the chefs and this album. Quality stuff and all that shit. over and out.
One of the best Damned songs ever. I agree, the solo by the Captain is inspiring, as are the harmonies by the band that lead upto it. He (they) are totally overlooked in my eyes. What a fantastic band!
@timelleb I know what you mean......it's very emotional stuff - always brings a tear to my eyes. Not only is it my favourite solo by The Captain, it's my favourite solo by anyone ever. Top stuff.
It's a real pity that Sensible is only viewed as a novelty act by the media, cos his musicianship & song writing skills are sublime.
@RedBryn I've uploaded one or two songs. Check my uploads anyway.
I've met him. He put his right arm around me. I decided I'd take something from that right arm and gain confidence playing the guitar. Trust me, that inspiration worked. I just wish I could write Love Policeman, Croydon, Smash It Up or The Universe of Geoffrey Brown.
Lovely Money ,Viv bonzo dog doo da band Stanshall,,""How old were the mummified remains? They sawed his leg off and counted the rings you jerk,big wow...Lovely money..Damned to Death.
Can't believe you missed out 'machinegun etiquette' from the album covers!?!? ...Should have been at 4:52 between 'music for pleasure' and 'the black album'!!
From the opening song, Ignite, to the Captain's Don't Bother Me, right at the very end, Strawberries rivals the amazing Black Album that preceded it (sounding like the NME Lol!).
luv this bloody album & song... i feel like i was born too late & didn't even know of this band (& many others) til 2001, but... better late than never :)

There was this American actor who was the star of Christine ( Stephen King film), and had a part in Jaws 2. He was the IMAGE of Vanian!

@wastedon4loko Yeah I know lol. Every time I saw Jaws 2, I was relieved Gordon didn't get eaten cos he looked like Vanian.

Tracey says it's 3-4 feet under your victorian house and the ceilings being so high makes the castle a wee bit cold to heat.
Then they all joined the camping and caraven club and threw their keeeeeys in!!
The Damned are and always will be the dogs bollocks!!

1:00... Edward The Bear.
The 7" b-side was better than the album version, and Under The Floor Again may have influenced it.
Note Millar's incredible drumming on Grimly Fiendish's flip-side...

Strawberries was one of the best albums by The Damned - and as agreed with everyone else, one of the most underrated of all times.

Bought Strawberries red vinyl spring 86. It changed my life. Then i saw them at Finsbury Park, Sunday 27th July, 3 months later.
Anyone tell me how to get the better version of Edward the Bear on CD?
