About
"Phantasmagoria" is the sixth album by THE DAMNED, released by MCA records in July 1985. Special editions were available on white vinyl or picture disc — some versions included a free 12" of their No. 3 hit Eloise. After much wrangling, THE DAMNED received a new contract with MCA Records in October 1984 (past member Captain Sensible's hit solo career helped) and recorded the album in Eel Pie Studios between March and June 1985. It reached No. 11 in the charts, and was the band's highest charting album ever. The non-album single "Eloise," (a Barry Ryan cover), released six months later, became a huge UK hit reaching No. 3. The Damned centred the entire album around David Vanian's deep voice, giving much of the album a gothic feeling. https://play.spotify.com/album/49FT1BTDipVvxOIQyyzWh5 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phantasmagoria_%28The_Damned_album%29 https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Damned/10644147851 https://www.facebook.com/groups/144285108986240/.

"Edward The Bear" was originally the b-side to "Grimly Fiendish", and was re-recorded for the LP. The single version is slightly "harder-edged"/faster. The LP version claims to be 3:45 - but in reality is about 3:37.
A limited white vinyl version was issued in the UK, and some also came with a bonus blue vinyl 12" of Eloise - which was issued as a standalone single in numerous territories one year later.
