The Damned must have been through approximately a million line-ups, but the Vanian/Sensible/Scabies/Gray line-up has always been my favourite, and this EP as an example of just how good they were in the early 80s.
When I had just discovered The Damned, “Disco Man” was my favourite song, and after dusting off the EP and giving it another listen, I was happy to discover that it’s still as irresistable as ever. In spite of the silly lyrics, (“Take my hand, disco man/Are you just a one night stand?”) it’s so fun and infectious that it can get away with it.
