The Damned, Machine Gun Etiquette, 1979 on Chiswick

This was the third studio album from Dave Vanian, Captain Sensible, Rat Scabies, and (new bassist) Algy Ward, collectively known as The Damned.

Includes a cover of “Looking at You” by the MC5, as well as “Love Song” and “I Just Can’t Be Happy Today.” I believe this was only available as an import in the US until issued on CD in 1991 by Emergo.

My copy is a later UK repressing (1986) on ACE Records, pressed at Sonopress in Germany – via A1 Records in NYC.
