Description

FIRST PRESSING VINYL LOOKS VERY GOOD EXCEPT SOME VERY LIGHT SUPERFICIAL MARKS ON ONE SIDE (SEE PHOTOS) DOES NOT CHANGE THE SOUND OF THE RECORD AT ALL. COVER LOOKS GOOD, HAS A PRICE STICKER IN THE CORNER.



Notes FROM DISCOGS.COM

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.
