The 30 Year Old Whore


The Damned : Stretcher Case


Recorded by the legendary producer Shel Talmy, who had recorded both The Who and The Kinks,  The Damned's new single "Stretcher Case Baby" was released in July of 1977 by Stiff Records as a thank you to the fans. The song had been part of the regular set since March when Rat Scabies wrote the lyrics over a Brian James riff. "I tried to get it to sound like the early records by The Who - a band I liked a lot. I don't know a stretcher case baby is. You'd have to ask Rat," said James.
