Description
THE DAMNED - THE BLACK ALBUM 2 X LP
RELEASED ON CHISWICK RECORDS IN 1980
FIRST PRESS
SIGNED BY RAT SCABIES
This is The Damned - The Black Album double LP first pressing on Chiswick Records. It has been hand signed across the front in black marker pen by Rat Scabies. He signed it for me when he was drumming for The Members in 2013. This was signed at a gig at The Hat Factory in Luton. There is light creasing around the edges of the sleeve, the inners are just plain black (without the patent number showing, which was the second pressing). The vinyl has been well played and there is the crackling and a few pops during play as expected from old vinyl. Nice collectable album for any Damned or punk, vinyl collector.
