What a great little EP from The Damned.
Released between The Black Album and Strawberries as a one off release on Nems, it kicks off with the poptastic Disco Man, why this wasn't a massive hit at the time is beyond me! The Limit Club is a song written about the death of Malcolm Owen from The Ruts and would not have been out of place on the aforementioned Black Album. Billy Bad Breaks is a 60's psych out which is calling out to be on the soundtrack of some acid popping time travelling biker movie. And Citadel is a Rolling Stones cover given the Damned treatment to great effect.
An absolute all round classic - if only they would have expanded into an album.
The Friday 13th EP is available on the compilation Chiswick Singles - And Another Thing (being the other thing in the title)
