Description
IN MINT CONDITION, OPEN BUT STILL IN SHRINKWRAP, this is the ultra-rare FIRST PRESSING on SST / UNICORN RECORDS (only 25 000 pressed on Unicorn and only a few thousands had the sticker) of the classic "Damaged" LP by the legendary Black Flag. This one features the even more rare "As a parent..., I found it an anti-parent record..." sticker that Black Flag affixed over the MCA Records logo on the back cover of some copies (SEE PICTURE) after MCA Records (with which Unicorn Records had a distribution deal) distribution chief Al Bergamo announced that the company would not distribute it, 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 two years of litigation during which Black Flag were forbid to release any record, they re-released and distributed it through Greg Ginn's own SST Records. This record cost Black Flag only 8 000 $ to produce and is a TRUE CLASSIC and even made the Rolling Stone TOP 500 BEST RECORDS OF ALL TIME LIST. It features the short-lived 5-piece Black Flag line-up of Henry Rollins on vocals (also from S.O.A., The Rollins Band, his first recording LP as Black Flag vocalist), Dez Cadena (also of the Misfits, Loaded and DC5) on Guitar and Vocals, Greg Ginn, lead guitar extraordinaire, Charles Dukowski (Gary McDaniel, also of SWA) on bass and ROBO (also of the Misfits) on drums. In the dead wax, you can read : "The whole gelatinous thing", "L - 7485 - X", "UNI 419502-B", "Comin at ya", "L-7485", "UNI/4 - 9502 - A -RE" and a crossed "UNI/4 - A - RE" too! Track listing: 1.
