And if you don't know what we're on about...here's the bluurrrbbb!
We're exceedingly fond of all things yuletide here at Damaged Goods HQ, having released a fabulous collection of Christmas records over the years, even if we do say so ourselves! This one is up there with the best of them and is sure to sell out quickly!
The Sensible Gray Cells are Captain Sensible (The Damned) on guitar/vocals, Paul Gray (The Damned) on bass/vocals, with Marty Love (Johnny Moped) on drums.
Join with them in celebrating all things that are daft and frustrating about the festive season. The band’s Xmas ditty ‘A Stupid Xmas’ captures everything you love to hate about this special time of year. It also has the catchiest chorus since Slade and Wizzard ruled the charts! AND wait till you see the video!
So, if you’re bored with watching endless repeats of Morecombe & Wise, or on the other channel Nigel Farage scoffing bugs on ‘I'm A Celebrity..’ and maybe fancy a crack at trying to solve a real, modern day 'whodunnit' then flip the record over for the somewhat darker flavoured 'B' side ‘Keep it to Yourself’ which sees the band in full on 'armchair detective' mode, taking a look at the as yet still unresolved Madeleine McCann mystery.
***VINYL FANS TAKE NOTE*** A certain number of records will have a deliberate mistake hidden.. well, somewhere or other - a jolly wheeze inspired by some of those old Stiff Records 'instant collector’s item' mispressings. We won’t say anymore!
Johnny Moped - Lockdown Boy (Ltd. RED VINYL 7")
We have a copies of the RED VINYL version of this single up on the SHOP now, this is the one which was originally for sale at the gig only...CLICK ON THE PIC BELOW TO BUY
The blue copies are all gone now. You might track down a copy on Discogs.
Here's the original info.
In honour of Mr Moped’s big day, we’re very pleased to release this limited edition 7” which coincides with his group’s show at London’s 229 Club on November 18th. It’s available on red or blue vinyl (300 copies each). The red vinyl edition was only available to buy at the gig. The blue vinyl edition is available via mail order from Damaged Goods or from your clued-up local record shop.
The record features two brand new tracks. ‘Lockdown Boy’ was written during and about the recent Covid lockdowns. It captures everything that’s great about the band and is set to become a firm fan favourite. On the flip is a fittingly titled track ‘The Other Side’ featuring a spoken word vocal. It’s an exclusive version of a track that may well feature in a different form on the band’s next album, set for release sometime in 2024. So, here’s to Johnny – raise a glass and play the record loud!
The band have just finished mixing their new album which should be out in the spring of 2024
