Music for Pleasure is the second album by the punk rock band The Damned. It was released on November 18, 1977.
It was produced by Nick Mason of Pink Floyd and featured new member Lu Edmunds on guitar alongside Brian James, as well as guest saxophonist Lol Coxhill. The album was the last studio release to feature original guitarist Brian James, and the group's final album release on Stiff Records. It saw the band move into more complex song structures, while maintaining the punk sound of their debut album. The release failed to make the UK Top 100 Album chart.
The cover art was drawn by Barney Bubbles.
