Album
Women and Captains First is the debut solo album by The Damned guitarist Captain Sensible, released in September 1982 by A&M Records. It features contributions from producer Tony Mansfield, Robyn Hitchcock and the band Dolly Mixture. The album was preceded by the singles Happy Talk and Wot, which peaked at numbers 1 and 26 on the UK Singles Chart, respectively. The album reached No. 64 on the UK Albums Chart. It was reissued on CD in 2009 by Cherry Red Records, including six bonus tracks. Women & Captains First - Captain Sensible. Лента с персональными рекомендациями и музыкальными новинками, радио, подборки на любой вкус, удобное управление своей. Women and Captains First confirms Captain Sensible was a talented entertainer, a better-than-average songwriter, and a capable singer with some unexpected tricks, but in retrospect, it's a shame he didn't get to produce the set as well and buff off a little excess polish.

It is a classic 80's album and as original, funny and entertaining a listen as you will find anywhere. The Captain's songs are an eclectic bunch with a surprising amount of lyrical punch to say the least but throughout the album his ideas and Tony Mansfield's production and synths work perfectly together.
