Strangely this year’s Autumn trip to Whitby is not on or near Halloween but coincides with Bonfire Night ? This track is my little tribute to Whitby and it’s dark visitors who are the most friendliest bunch I know. This is one of my favourite Damned tracks, from 1985, produced in the same light hearted vein as a Goth Madness by Bob Sargeant, slightly extended for your listening pleasure. B-side , “Edward The Bear” has a definite Who influence via The Stranglers with that constant organ riff.
As it is Halloween all links have been resurrected for that date from the past years . So expect Skinny Puppy, Grace Jones, Phil Fearon and Galaxy, (!)

is this different to the Bad Trip Mix on the re-issued CD?
Mmm…not sure, it sounds just a bit longer than the single.
Spic’n’span & Bad trip mixes are different definitely
Just saw this now, I am a bit behind here in China – cool – great campy track – thanks
These guys are great. Thanks for sharing it.
Well I was chasing links (farting around) and ended up here somehow… this sounds interesting… and it is in season… May I please have more gruel (I mean a re-up) <— said in my best Oliver Twist voice.
No you can’t , you’re not called mikedeu 😃
Thank You Master DJ… Happy Holidays to you too.
