Lyric sheet was available by mail. 
25,000 pressed.

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 only $8,000 (USD) to produce.

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.

ABOUT HOW I GRADE:

LPs are graded visually and conservatively under many bright lights. Always cleaned on a Pro-Cleaner.

Questionable marks are play graded & some are play graded so I can hear them.

LPs always receive new Outside Poly Sleeve and Inner Poly Sleeve.

Still Sealed/New: 

Never opened...still in original shrinkwrap....any tears in the shrinkwrap will be noted in description.

Cannot really grade Vinyl as I have never seen it.  This is a SEALED item and AS IS SALE :)

Mint: 

VINYL-  New condition...Exactly like new, no flaws whatsoever. Nice & Shiny. 

COVER- will look like it has just been removed from shrinkwrap, or may still have most of the shrinkwrap still on it.

I rarely ever grade an LP Mint...

Mint- (Mint Minus): 

VINYL- Played once, no flaws, but a remote ever-so-slight amount of that shiny luster may be gone. 

COVER- Jacket will be virtually flawless, slightest signs of wear, maybe one bumped corner, or a hint Shrinkwrap, if still on, may have some stickers on it. Any defects or odd bits will be noted in description.

VG++: (Very Good Plus Plus). 

VINYL- This record may have some marks (very, very light scuffs or surface marks or a bit of very light paper scuffing) that may be noticed in a quieter passage. 

VG+: (Very Good Plus) 

VINYL- This record will have some light marks (light scratches and light sleeve scuffs), and it might may have the slightest occasional pop or crackle in parts.  Detailed notes any any visible surface mark will be made in description.. Still really nice and I would be happy to own it.

COVER-  It will start to show more signs of wear than a VG++ jacket, the ringwear may be slightly more evident, the edgewear or corner more defined as well. 

VG: (Very Good)  

VINYL- The record may have several scratches and scuffs, though aside from some popping and crackling, will still be an enjoyable listen. 

COVER- The jacket will have far more wear previous grades, such as: edgewear to the point of some light seam splits, some light ringwear (not terrible, but still distracting from the image), edge corner wear, minor writing or a few stickers, or other similar defects.

VG-: (Very Good Minus) 

VINYL- Not terrible, usually represents 1 or 2 very visible marks or scratches, might be a little sketchy in a few spots, other than that would fair as a VG record. 

COVER- The jacket will show wear - ringwear, seam should be able to be taped up for repair), some writing and/or stickers, edge and corner wear, or other similiar defects.

Good+ & Below: 

VINYL- LPs with these conditions will not be listed regularly, and will only be sold if the Title/LP is a Collectible or sought after item.  Will play but with crackle or issues.

COVER- Usually fairly wrecked.

All records shipped with the actual vinyl in a Poly 

Lined Paper/Plastic Inner Sleeve
