It was one of punk's best-kept secrets. Under the fictional alias Naz Nomad & the Nightmares, the Damned dove headfirst into the garage rock and psychedelia of the 1960s, covering cult classics from the Human Beinz, the Seeds, the Litter, and more with the same ferocious energy that made them legends of the British punk scene. Equal parts love letter and mischief, the project showcased a side of the Damned that casual fans often miss: deep crate-diggers with serious reverence for the raw, fuzz-drenched sounds that came before them.
This pressing arrives on limited purple vinyl, one of just 500 copies produced. With the Damned approaching their 50th anniversary in 2026 and their catalog commanding increasing collector attention, demand for associated releases at this condition level is only growing.
Why This Pressing Belongs in a Collection The Damned were the first British punk band to release a single, the first to tour America, and one of the most enduring acts the genre produced. The Naz Nomad alias remains a fascinating footnote, a rare glimpse at the record collection behind the razor wire. A mint, numbered copy of this 500-unit purple vinyl pressing is not a record that gets easier to find over time.
