The Damned - Anything [2CD Remastered Expanded Edition] (1986/2009)

Digitally remastered and expanded two CD edition of the veteran British Punk/New Wave rockers' 1986 album including a bonus CD that contains additional bonus tracks containing mixes, b-sides, live recordings and radio sessions. In contrast to the straightforward sessions for their previous album, recording was rife with problems. Kelly attempted to steer the band towards the 'Goth Opera' style that had served them so well, but the band wanted to move in a new direction, with a psychedelic Rock flavor, epitomized by their brilliant cover of Love's "Alone Again Or". The distinctive carving on the cover was made by Howard Rayhoult. Anything spawned the UK hit singles "Anything" (#32), "Gigolo" (#29) and "Alone Again Or" (#27). 24 tracks. Universal. 2009.
