I always loved... "Wine bars are called wine bars because someone's always whining..." ...which is given a bit of a run out here...
I don't know who owns this new. I hope that it's still Paul. In the last 9 months, 2 original members of The Damned (and a few later members) have been auctioning off personal items. Mrs B was aghast when Dave sold one of his jackets, well, actually it was this one (note Mrs Vanian II/Patricia Morrison in the background)... please log in to view this image I don't know what she wanted it for...it won't fit me and it sold for £1700. However, his Phil Read Replica pudding basin helmet would be a welcome Christmas pressie at a fraction of the price...
It's that time of year...time to post Captain Sensible related Christmas ditties...of which there are, rather surprisingly, 4 that spring instantly to mind. So, you lucky people are in for a real treat. Firstly, there's the daddy of them all... Secondly, this more whimsical solo number... Thirdly, a bit of fun with Charlie Harper and the beautiful Gaye Advert, with a rendition of this (uncredited) Country & Western B side to Just Can't Be Happy Today... Finally, this collaboration with Mr Harper... Yes, the more observant amongst you will have correctly spotted Jo Guest in there. She's a big fan of Captain and The Damned. Frankly, who isn't?
I am ever mindful of my chums' need to find presents for their squeezes. Unfortunately, The Damned headstones have long since sold out...but there is hope. You can still buy one of these babies... please log in to view this image A thing of beauty, I am sure you will agree?...and if you think it may not go down a bomb, why not invest in something that will create a bit more of a buzz? please log in to view this image ...the late and rather wonderful Larry Wallis on vocals.... ...and yes, I'm bored out of my ****ing mind.
I'm not too sure but the larger one looks like a front loading round. The smaller one probably loads at the rear....probably . Anyway,........now for the larger ordnance... please log in to view this image Numbers 1 and 3 look like 'Bunker Busters' to me...
In honour of Alfie's Brexit Breakfast... Given their love of full on psychedelia, it's a bit ironic that they missed out on the Naz Nomad & The Nightmares project. Anyway, Captain, Paul and Martin in late 60's mode. Enjoy!
Top stuff from Spizz. We all miss the 12 Bar Club...all I've got left is my Vince Ray designed hoodie. please log in to view this image
