Artist:  The Damned

Title:  Music for Pleasure

Date:  1977

Label:  Stiff Records   BA-215

Cover Photos:  Chris Gabrin

Notes: On the forefront of the punk movement in music were The Damned. Loud, whiney at times and angry. They got the attention of both the critics and the club goers of the time and left they're mark on the bands to follow in their footsteps. The opening strains of "Problem Child" set the tone for the rest of album and a fun ride it is. The front cover is an  abstract/cubist drawing in a frantic style. The back cover photos are slightly disturbing.
