Product Description The third ever release on Damaged Goods was the original vinyl version of this album. (FNARRLP3) 'Terminal Stupid', their one and only single was one of my favourite singles from 1977 and in 1988 I searched out lead singer Giovanni Dadomo and together we put together this album. It features both sides of their 7" plus another track they released on the Beggars Banquet compilation 'Streets' (Beggars first release), although they had to change their name (to Arthur Comix) as Beggars were worried about the word 'sh*ts' on the cover of their album!. Anyway we found another 6 or so tracks, mastered it with Dave Goodman and put it out, at the time Gio had also unearthed one of the three tracks that he cowrote and recorded with The Damned, 'There 'Aint No Sanity Clause' is included on the LP & CD. This is a review of the original album from the Trouser Press website.... 'The hazard of anyone-can-do-it musical movements is what might get dragged in.' Fortunately, the jokey Snivelling Shi*s - two London rock critics (singer Giovanni Dadomo and guitarist Dave Fudger) and such musician friends as Steve Nicol of the Hot Rods and bassist Steve Lillywhite - were sharply skilled at smuttily satirising the sounds of '77. As anthologised in this archival colored-vinyl document, the band's brief recording career (eight whole tracks, including the viciously irreverent "isgodaman?," originally released on a Beggars Banquet compilation LP under the name Arthur Comics?) included incisive swipes at the Sex Pistols, John Cooper Clarke ('I Wanna Be Your Biro') and the Velvet Underground. That's history for you. 1. Crossroads 2. I Can't Come 3. Et Moi, Et Moi, Et Moi 4. I wanna Be Your Biro 5. Bring Me The Head Of Yukio Mishima 6. Only 13 7. Terminal Stupid 8. Isgodaman? 9.
