Released via their own [[Lively Arts Records|Lively Arts]] label in 2005, it was the band’s first single release since “[[Shut It]]” in 1996. The band’s line-up shifted again, with [[Stu West]] making his recording debut on [[bass guitar]] for the group, having taken over on live dates from [[Patricia Morrison]], who has began to concentrate on her daughter Emily and managing the band. The song continues the style the band established for their '''''[[Grave Disorder]]''''' album, with their unique [[gothic rock|gothic]]/[[punk rock|punk]]/[[psychedelic]] sound, fast [[guitar]]s and swirling keyboards topped off with a dramatic vocal. From 11 November 2005, the band began selling copies of the single on their ''Little Miss Disaster Tour''. The sleeve featured [[Emily Strange]] as a result of a collaboration between the band and the [http://www.emilystrange.com Emily Strange] website. On December 1, the single was made available from the band’s website, with a limited edition of 1000 vinyl copies (with a red splattered vinyl pattern), and on CD. The B-side, a live version of “Anti-Pope”, was taken from the DVD ''[[MGE25]]'', recorded live at [[Manchester]] Academy on 4 December 2004 to celebrate the 25th anniversary of their album '''''[[Machine Gun Etiquette]]'''''. ==Track listing== 7” version: - # "Little Miss Disaster" (Sensible) – 4:47 # "Anti-Pope (Live)" ([[Rat Scabies|Scabies]], Sensible, Vanian, [[Algy Ward|Ward]]) – 3:31 CD version: - # "Little Miss Disaster" (Sensible) – 4:47 # "Anti-Pope (Live)" ([[Rat Scabies|Scabies]], Sensible, Vanian, [[Algy Ward|Ward]]) – 3:31 # “[[The History of the World Part 1]]” ([[Rat Scabies|Scabies]], Sensible, Vanian, [[Paul Gray (musician)|Gray]]” (video track, taken from the ''[[MGE25]]'' DVD) ==Production credits== * '''[[Record producer|Producer]]s''': ** [[The Damned]] (“Little Miss Disaster”) ** [[Dash Productions Ltd.]] (live tracks) * '''[[Musician]]s''': **[[Dave Vanian]]: [[Singer|Vocals]] **[[Captain Sensible]]: [[Guitar]] **[[Stu West]]: [[Bass guitar|Bass]] **[[Monty Oxy Moron]]: [[Keyboards]] **[[Pinch (musician)|Pinch]]: [[Drum]]s {{The Damned}} [[Category:2005 singles]] [[Category:The Damned songs]]
