Their first release with new label [[Bronze Records|Bronze]], it showcased the band's willingness to experiment, being a seemingly-lightweight slice of [[Pop music|pop]] thanks to a [[disco]]-style electronic drum beat, which contrasted with a voiceover provided by former [[Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band]] frontman [[Viv Stanshall]] that criticised the [[nationalism]] that had arisen following the [[Falklands War]] in 1982. The "Disco Mix" was essentially the same track, with the backing sped up by the mischievous band. [[Bronze Records|Bronze]] attempted to boost sales by issuing a picture disc version of the single as well, and also issued the single in [[France]], [[Germany]], the [[Netherlands]], [[Italy]], [[Australia]] and [[New Zealand]]. ==Track listing== # "Lovely Money" (Scabies, Sensible, Vanian, Gray) - 5:21 # "I Think I'm Wonderful" (Scabies, Sensible, Vanian, Gray) - 3:06 # "Lovely Money (Disco Mix)" (Scabies, Sensible, Vanian, Gray) ==Production credits== * '''[[Record producer|Producer]]s''': ** [[Tony Mansfield]] ** [[The Damned]] * '''[[Musician]]s''': ** [[Dave Vanian]]: [[Singer|Vocals]] ** [[Captain Sensible]]: [[Guitar]] ** [[Rat Scabies]]: [[Drum]]s ** [[Paul Gray (musician)|Paul Gray]]: [[Bass guitar|Bass]] * '''[[Musician|Guest Musician]]''' ** [[Viv Stanshall]]: Spoken word on "Lovely Money" [[Category:1982 singles]] [[Category:The Damned songs]]
