Product Description
Album Description
A 25th Anniversary special edition of one of punk’s innovative and epoch-defining albums. Contains the whole original album remastered with alternate versions of the three singles and the non-album B-Sides. The Ed Hollis mix of ‘Love Song’ has never been released in any form before and check out the ‘Smash It Up’ instrumental track for sing-a-longa karoake fun for all the family, followed by ‘Smash It Up’ Part 4, the Wessex Studio version, never released before. Also included is the impossibly rare Radio Edit 45 version of ‘I Just Can’t Be Happy Today’ – never re-issued and for the first time ever on CD; the single version of ‘Noise Noise Noise’, ‘Burglar’ and the ‘Turkey Song’. As a special bonus, the ‘Plan 9 Channel 7’ video is also featured. Includes a comprehensive sleeve note from Mojo journalist Kieron Tyler, containing plenty of rare memorabilia and fascinating anecdotes from MGE producer Roger Armstrong, who takes us through the recording experience on a track-by-track basis.

Ladies and Gentlemen...How do !,

This review is from: Machine Gun Etiquette [25th Anniversary Edition] (Audio CD)
When it comes to punk albums there's none better, when it comes to daft punk albums then the Damned's Machine Gun Etiquette is special. I now own this album on vinyl,cassette, CD and 25th Anniversary CD, I can't get enough of it. From Love Song launching the album through to Plan 9, Channel 7 and ending with Smash It Up parts 1 and 2 every track is a real classic. I recently saw the Damned live at the Nottm Rock City (my favourite venue) and they played just about every track from Machine Gun Etiquette which highlighted the importance of this album to the band. Once you have heard this you will be hooked, go on buy it and be happy forever.

A forgotten classic,
This review is from: Machine Gun Etiquette [25th Anniversary Edition] (Audio CD)
Arguably, The Damned's finest album. The band reformed after the disappointing Music For Pleasure with Captain Sensible changing from bass to lead guitar and showing off a wide range of his influences. Whereas The Damned under Brian James' leadership were stuck with James's Stooges fixation, the new line up allowed them to show off a wider range of skills. Highlights include guitar heroics and proto goth vocals from Vanian on Plan 9 Channel 7, the brilliant singles, including Love Song and Smash It Up and a blistering version of the MC5's Looking At You. Unfortunately, one reviewer seems to think this is a new Damned album and not the great return to form that most punks took to their hearts in 1979. Anyway, what's wrong with new Damned material? Grave Disorder included some great tracks and the band still put on one hell of a show!

Nibbled to death by an Okapi,
This review is from: Machine Gun Etiquette [25th Anniversary Edition] (Audio CD)
Ladies and gentlemen... how do. Is it really twenty five years since I first heard this? These songs brings back memories of nasty cider hangovers and big fuzzy jumpers, of 14 hole DM'S, of tartan trousers and leopardskin bumflaps, of being chased all around the Manchester Arndale, then up and down Market Street, by a gang of the dreaded Perry Boys one rainy Saturday afternoon. Lots of ramalama jump up and down type gubbins for when other music seems like hard work. Buy it, love it, play it at your sister.
