On 22 October, five weeks before the release of the Sex Pistols' " Anarchy in the U.K.", Stiff Records put out the Damned's first single, " New Rose", thus making them the first UK punk band to release a single. The single's B-side was a fast-paced cover of the Beatles' " Help!". [29] "New Rose" was described by critic Ned Raggett as a "deathless anthem of nuclear-strength romantic angst". [30] Morrison and Vanian married and had a daughter, Emily, born on 9 February 2004. Around this time, Morrison 'retired' from performing with the band, though she remained involved with the Damned as the band's manager. Her replacement on bass was Stu West. [ citation needed]
