Overview:
The Black Album was the fourth album by the Damned, and the first to feature Paul Gray on bass guitar.
It was released in 3 November 1980 on Chiswick as a double album, with "Curtain Call" filling the whole of side 3, and a selection of live tracks recorded at Shepperton Studios for Damned fan club members on side 4.
The song "13th Floor Vendetta" paid tribute to the film The Abominable Dr. Phibes (1971), opening with the lyrics "...the organ plays to midnight on Maldine Square tonight".
 
The Black Album was the first 80s album from the punk band The Damned. Any fans of this album?
