BIG BEAT PRESENTS DAVID VANIAN & PHANTOM CHORDS

When the Damned (first) split up in 1989, lead
singer David Vanian formed the Phantom
Chords. Their first single, a cover of 'Johnny
Remember Me' was issued in 1990 and their
version of 'Town Without Pity' followed in
1992. It was not until 1995 that a Phantom
Chords album was finally released by Big Beat
showcasing the panache and power of a group
that melded together rockabilly and gothic
rock.
" At that time, 14 tracks including 'Voodoo Doll',
'Big Town', 'Fever In My Blood', 'Jezebel',
'Chase The Wild Wind' and 'Swamp Thing'
were a mixture of covers and original material
and with vinyl sales in terminal decline was a
CD-only release.
" Now, nearly three decades later, with vinyl
back with a bang, "David Vanian And The
Phantom Chords" is finally issued on vinyl by
Ace Records as a 2-LP set.
