The Phantom Chords - Unreleased album

A lot of people have been visiting the blog for this particular post ,so here it is in all its reposted glory.
the following info is from http://www.wikipedia.org/ ."Following the 1989 breakup of The Damned, Vanian, guitarist Roman Jugg and bassist Bryn Merrick formed the Phantom Chords with Brendan Moon (guitar) and Clyde Dempsey (drums). In 1990, the debut single by the band ("Johnny remember me", a cover of a Geoff Goddard song) was released in the UK.
However, although an 11-track album (including "Johnny Remember Me") was written, and Polydor planned to release it, this did not happen, and only two one-sided acetates of it exist."

this was a great band who i had the pleasure of seeing live at the borderline in london in about 1994 ish and a great gig it was.they played a lot of their original stuff and if memory serves me correctly a damned cover or two.so now its time for you all to listen,enjoy and leave a comment.thanks!

p.s ive also included the 'b-sides' from the 12" johnny remember me for you all to enjoy!

Naz Nomad and the Nightmares - Give daddy the knife cindy

continuing with a damned sort of vibe we have another spin off from the group.here is what wikipedia had to say about them.
"Naz Nomad and The Nightmares released one album entitled "Give Daddy The Knife, Cindy" in 1984. The album was packaged to look like the re-issue of a 1967 soundtrack album to a (fictitious) low budget American horror film. A copyright notice on the front cover claims the film was "Copyright 1967 American Screen Destiny Pictures", and credits are given for the film's stars, director and producer.
The album itself features covers of songs by garage rock and psychedelic acts who had influenced the Damned, plus two original numbers in the same style. Each member of the band took on pseudonyms different from those used in The Damned for the project."

another band i had the pleasure of seeing live when they supported the damned at the old 'town and country club' in london probably around 1993.anyway a great cd and one for you all to listen to,enjoy and then leave a comment on.thanks!
