I wonder if the next Stranglers album could be released through Pledge?

Every time I see the word, Pledge, I want to start cleaning some furniture :lol:

hi mate - your absolutely totally wrong on the nitro deal it was a one off deal - noodles & dexter both love it see the twitter conversation i had with them - it sold well but it was a deal for the damned to get the record out when no-one else would touch them - nitro pretty much stopped after 2004 and then it got sold a few years later

"For Dexter, the Damned are one of those bands that made him want to start a band," says Nitro general manager Brad Pollack. "We wanted to make sure that the Damned had the opportunity to make the record that they wanted to make, that was obviously the Damned, but had the 21st century in it as well. And they did exactly that."

last album,I would be very reluctant to pledge.
Latest albums by Buzzcocks, Stiff Little Fingers, Penetration, UK Subs, Chelsea were all Pledge and are all excellent.
Ruts DC's Pledge album also due next month.

Never had a problem with Pledge.
But if you don't want to you don't have to.
The CD will be in the shops about 6 months later.
My thoughts entirely.

I like Pledge. I've picked up autographed cds from Buzzcocks, Rob Zombie, Hugh, Jah Wobble, Killing Joke one on the way and now The Damned.
Well worth the extra couple of quid in my book.
