Reviews & Opinions
MARK P, SNIFFIN' GLUE #4, OCTOBER 1976: At last, a real 'punk' single. The Damned, one of the hardest bands around, come up with a killer. Produced by Nick Lowe, this single carries everything the Damned have to offer. The energy on 'New Rose' is frightening. Listen to this and realise what it's all about. Everyone, old musicians, old 'stars', the British record-buying public - find out how rock should sound on record. By [sic] this thing or be very boring!
TIM YOHANNAN, MAXIMUM ROCKNROLL #38, JULY 1986: Well, hey -- here's your chance to snap up some early or rare DAMNED stuff, back when they were a slap-in-the-face punk band. Includes "Help" and "New Rose" from the first 45, "Stretcher Case" and "Sick Of Being Sick" from their ultra-rare freebie 7", as well as "Neal Neat Neat." Get this fucker.
