The Light at the End of the Tunnel is a double compilation album by the Damned, released by MCA in 1987 as a retrospective collection. The same name was also given to a concurrently released video cassette and an approved band biography by Carol Clerk.
The package was marketed as a greatest hits collection, but while it includes many of the band/s acknowledged standards, several of the songs were album tracks, while others were B-sides or other rarities. This Damned retrospective, however, is the only one to unite studio recordings from all of the studio albums the band had released between 1977 and 1986.
MCA issued the Anything album track "In Dulce Decorum" as a single to support the release. The Light at the End of the Tunnel charted for a week at No. 87 in the UK Album Charts, the band's final chart entry until 2018's Evil Spirits, which reached No. 7.
