Damned/England,UK 1983

A treasured item has been released that recorded a Newcastle performance with a good stereo audience recording from the tour after the release of the fifth album "Strawberries"! In 1981, Roman Jag joined the band as keyboardist and guitarist, and the Damned released their fifth album "Strawberries" in October 1982. However, during the production of the album, bassist Paul Gray left the band, and on December 29, 1983, a turbulent time, a treasured item has been released that recorded a live performance at Briar Beer Pit in Newcastle with a good stereo audience recording! It has been digitally transferred from the low gene master, and the sound image can be said to be of a high class at that time, and each part is recorded with a well-balanced and clear sound quality. In addition, the pitch deviation caused by the master has been carefully corrected. This live performance marks the first time that Paul Gray has left the band and Brian Merrick has joined the band. The set starts with the single "There Ain't No Sanity Clause" released in November 1980, includes two songs from "Strawberries," "Disco Man" from the EP "FRIDAY 13th" released in 1981, and the familiar MC5 cover "Looking At You." The last three songs are "Hippy Hippy Shake," "We Love You" by the Rolling Stones, and a cover of the Stooges' "I Feel Alright" from their debut album! You can fully enjoy this precious live performance from 1983, a time of transition!
