Chart Placings
UK Chart Hit: 30, 10 wks
Original copies had a mis-pressing which featured Eddie & the Hotrods on the back cover. This was a marketing ploy by Stiff. They needed to sell 2,000 copies to recoup the recording and production costs.
A limited number f albums were shrink wrapped in a red "food fight" sticker which completed the album title.

“Due to Record Company error, a picture of Island recording artists Eddie & The Hot Rods has been printed instead of The Damned. We apologise for any inconvenience caused and the correct picture will be substituted on future copies.”
