This is the ultra-rare VERY FIRST PRESSING on SST / UNICORN RECORDS of the classic "Damaged" LP by the legendary Black Flag. THIS IS ONE OF THE VERY FIRST THAT CAME OUT OF THE PLANT AS THE MCA RECORDS LOGO IS STILL VISIBLE ON THE BACK COVER OF THE RECORD! YES THAT WAS BEFORE THE BAND PUT THEIR INFAMOUS "As a parent..., I found it an anti-parent record..." sticker over the MCA Records logo of almost all the records (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.
