Then suddenly, like a fly in a cup of tea...

..I'm stirred and no longer free to fly away."



Cheesy lyrics but I love The Damned's album Phantasmagoria and I'm over the moon to finally have a remastered version of it. Album hasn't been available to buy brand new on CD in years so it's great that it's finally available again albeit as a Japanese import.

It comes with replicas of the original vinyl album outer and inner sleeves and the label is used to make it look like a miniature version of the special edition white vinyl album plus it has a fold out lyrics sheet (in Japanese and English)

Favourite track is "Sanctum Sanctorum" which has a lovely atmospheric intro.

Their follow-up album "Anything" is also available and like "Phantasmagoria" has been unavailable on CD for years (apart from people asking £lots for a secondhand copy of it). Can't wait to get that either.
