'' is the third
Album by the
British Punk band
The Damned . They released it in November 1979. The album was the group's first since reforming with
Dave Vanian on vocals,
Captain Sensible on lead guitar,
Rat Scabies on drums and
Algy Ward on bass. Machine Gun Etiquette saw the band become more experimental; without
Brian James , the song-writing was more democratic, resulting in a blend of punk, progressive rock and gothic styles.

This version also had a different cover.
The original vinyl's lead-out groove contained a sound clip ("Nibbled to death by an
Okapi ") that was intended to loop indefinitely until the listener removed the needle from the vinyl (like the lead-out groove on
Sergeant Pepper ). The sound clip was actually a line from the BBC Radio series
Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy , spoken by
Peter Jones about the fate of Arthur Dent's brother.
