Damned Damned Damned was issued by Stiff Records on 18 February 1977, which was also James' 22nd birthday [REF].
BBC's retrospective review praised the album's energy, pop satire and general humour, commenting, "Each track featured the hammering toms of Rat Scabies and Captain Sensible's bass-as-guitar propelling Brian James' exhilarating machine gun axe into your living room" [REF].
