The Damned - Skip Off School To See The Damned

Since the Damned did most of their best work at Stiff Records, the appearance of a comprehensive collection like Skip Off School to See the Damned (The Stiff Singles A's & B's) was long overdue. It only contains 11 songs, several of which are on the seminal Damned, Damned, Damned, but almost all of them are dynamite, capturing the band are their rawest and catchiest. It's an ideal choice for casual fans that want to dig a little deeper than the debut but don't want to sort through their uneven follow-ups. So if you're after a compilation of The Damned at their Punk peak you really can't go wrong with this one. And with a very Punk running time of just over 25 minutes, it does exactly what it says on the label without outstaying its welcome.
