How The Damned wrote and recorded New Rose

It did contain a few small but interesting nuggets of information.

But a ‘longer read’ or a ‘deep dive’? Attention spans seem to be shortening by the nanosecond. Took me between 2 and 3 minutes to read (wasn’t expecting to use the second hand on my clock!)

(And from The Guardian of all places, that regularly has in-depth articles actually flagged as the ‘Long Read’.)

Call me when The Damned do a Mastertapes which has produced some interesting insights in the past. Those interested in modern musical artistes’ processes and behind-the scenes glimpses should check it out.

ETA The Guardian does this kind of article weekly and historical articles are on their website - many are musical, but by no means all. The film 2001 was a recent one, I think.

Edited some more to note that THIS article from The Guardian’s "How We Made’ series will likely go down well here, given its recent exposure on BB. (Hint: It’s Totolly African.)
