- D - The Damned

Credited with releasing the first UK Punk single New Rose and the first Punk album Damned Damned Damned now released as a 30th anniversary special edition over three discs containing all of the classics - Neat Neat Neat, Stretcher Case Baby, Help and New Rose.

Despite many lineup changes the original base of Dave Vanian and Captain Sensible are still touring and well worth catching if you can.

1979's Machine Gun Etiquette [25th Anniversary Edition] also re-released in expanded form includes Smash it up (part 1 and part 2) plus bonus tracks Ballroom Blitz and White Rabbit (on some versions). The Black Album again re-released in deluxe format with an excellent second disc, contains The History of the World (part 1) an extended version of White Rabbit and many live tracks.

Anything released in 1986 included single release Gigolo, the double disc version also includes their hit single Eloise that was never included on their original album releases.

Before leaving the Damned, it's also well worth checking out the one off Give Daddy the Knife, Cindy credited to Naz Nomad & the Nighmares the lineup includes Dave Vanian as Naz Nomad and original Damned drummer Rat Scabies as Nick Detroit
