In June 1988, seminal punks, The Damned, reunited their original 1976 line-up of Dave Vanian, Brian James, Captain Sensible and Rat Scabies for 2 sell-out shows at the infamous Town and Country in London's Kentish Town.

The first half of the set saw the original formation burn through tracks including New Rose and Neat, Neat, Neat from their first album Damned, Damned, Damned, which was the first punk album ever released in the UK. The second half of the set saw later members Roman Jugg and Bryn Merrick join the group (less Brian James) for some of their later smash hits including Love Song and Smash It Up. Brian James then rejoined the rest of the group for a finale of Looking at You and The Last Time. This live concert was recorded on the second night, Monday 13th June and was originally released on VHS.
