A defining moment in British punk, Machine Gun Etiquette captures The Damned at full creative ignition — faster, sharper and more adventurous than their peers. Originally released in 1979, the album blends breakneck punk energy with melodic hooks, psychedelic flashes and the band’s unmistakable personality.

This 2025 Ace / Chiswick Records reissue (WIKD 333) delivers the album in clean stereo with restored artwork and premium pressing quality, reaffirming its status as one of the most influential punk LPs of its era.
