Black Flag's iconic album "Damaged" comes to you on a 12" LP, pressed in the United States during the fervent punk/new wave era of the 1980s. This first pressing is a sought-after collectible, featuring the original SST record label and sporting an anti-parent sticker that adds a unique touch of rebellion to its already radical appeal. Black Flag Damaged 1st Pressing with "Anti parent" sticker Cover (VG) has ring wear, moderate shelf wear, corner wear, edge wear. Disc (VG+) has some sleeve rub marks, a few superficial sleeve scuffs and hairlines that do not affect play. Highly collectible copy of this rare record! First pressing is this issue (MCA logo on rear, "anti-parent" sticker on some, "UNI/4" matrices). MCA Records (with which Unicorn Records had a distribution deal) distribution chief Al Bergamo announced that the company would not distribute this record, deeming that "It just didn't seem to have any redeeming social value" and because, as a parent with two children, he found it an anti-parent record. "Damaged" was eventually released by Unicorn through an independent distributor. Later, after Unicorn's bankruptcy and almost years of litigation during which Black Flag was forbidden to release any record, they re-released and distributed it through Greg Ginn's own SST Records. This record cost Black Flag $8,000 (USD) to produce. 25,000 pressed. Lyric sheet was available by mail. Some early copies released with a sticker stating "As A Parent..., I Found It An Anti-Parent Record..." on the back of the jacket, covering up the MCA distribution logo. * Matrix / Runout (Etched Runout Side 1): UNI 4-9502-A-RE L7485 IIII COMIN AT YA * Matrix / Runout (Etched Runout Side 2): UNI 4-9502-B THE WHOLE GELATINOUS THING L-7485-X * Matrix / Runout (Etched Runout Side 1, variant 2): UNI/4-9502-A-RE JcS L-7485 IIII COMIN AT YA * Matrix / Runout (Etched Runout Side 2, variant 2): UNI 4/9502-B JcS THE WHOLE GELATINOUS THING ʘ L-7485-X * Matrix / Runout (Etched Runout Side 1, Variant 3): UNI/4-A-RE (scratched out) UNI/4- 9502-A-RE jcs L-7485 IIII Comin At Ya * Matrix / Runout (Etched Runout Side 2, Variant 3): UNI 4-9502-B jcs THE WHOLE GELATINOUS THING ʘ L-7485-X eBay Seller Disclaimer for Collectible Items Thank you for your interest in my listings!
