Originally recorded in California, 1985, 'Fiendish Shadows' captures The Damned playing live at the height of their illustrious career. The recording is of superior quality and perfectly represents the band at the peak of their commercial fame. The album is very representative of how the band sounded during their 'Phantasmagoria' era featuring tracks such as 'Shadow of love' and 'Is it a dream'.

The live set includes a cover of a track popularized by The Electric Prunes and The 13th Floor Elevators 'I had too much to dream last night'. Track 12 is a rowdy punk cover of Iggy Pop's famous track 'Lust for life'. All in all this is a great and varied collection of some of The Damned's greatest music and a must have for all Damned fans!
