THE DAMNED......STRETCHER CASE BABY b/w SICK OF BEING SICK RARE ORIGINAL 7" BLACK VINYL SINGLE ON STIFF RECORDS CAT. NO. DAMNED 1 FROM 1977.
RARE AND ORIGINAL LIMITED EDITION OF 5000. ORIGINALLY GIVEN AWAY FREE AT THE DAMNED 1ST ANNIVERSARY GIGS AT THE MARQUEE IN JULY 1977. SOME WERE ALSO GIVEN AWAY IN AN NME COMPETITION AND TO FAN CLUB MEMBERS.
AS IT SAYS ON THE LABEL: 'EASILY DESTRUCTIBLE STEREO. NOT FOR SALE. SPECIAL SNOB COLLECTORS ARTIFACT OF NO HISTORICAL/CULTURAL VALUE. PLAY IT TODAY, THROW IT AWAY. WHY SELL 'EM, WHEN YOU CAN GIVE 'EM AWAY'.
THE VINYL IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. BOUGHT FROM A REPUTABLE UK DEALER IN THE EARLY 1980'S WHO ASSURED ME THAT TO HIS KNOWLEDGE IT HAD NOT BEEN PLAYED (I HAD TO TAKE HIS WORD FOR IT). IT HAS ONLY BEEN PLAYED TWICE SINCE THEN. THE VINYL STILL LOOKS EXCELLENT. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF VERY LIGHT HAIRLINE SURFACE MARKS, AND A FEW SMALL MARKS MARKS ON SIDE 1 WHICH LOOK LIKE FACTORY MARKS AND WERE THERE WHEN I BOUGHT IT. THESE MARKS DO NOT AFFECT THE PLAY. THE PAPER LABELS ARE VERY CLEAN AND FREE OF MARKS. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF TINY AND VERY VERY LIGHT FINGERMARKS ON SIDE 2 LABEL, WHICH WERE MADE BY ME BEING A BIT DOZY, BUT THESE ARE HARDLY NOTICEABLE (YOU WILL HAVE TO LOOK HARD TO SEE THEM). NO JUMPS, NO STICKS, NO CLICKS.

SIDE 1.
DAMMED 1-1, I SAID YOU BETTER HAVE THE ALBUM, I SAID YOU BETTER HAVE THE ALBUM.
SIDE 2.
DAMMED 2-1, ONE YEAR OLD'S
THE PICTURE SLEEVE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. HAS THE DELGA CREDIT ON THE REVERSE IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT HAND CORNER. THERE IS THE MINUTEST BIT OF RINGWEAR JUST OVER THE LADY'S HEAD IN THE REFLECTION. IT IS VERY SLIGHT AND INITIALLY LOOKS LIKE PART OF THE DESIGN. THIS MAY HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY THE RECORD BEING KEPT IN THE SLEEVE FOR MANY YEARS. THE SLEEVE AND RECORD HAVE BEEN KEPT SEPERATE FOR ABOUT THE LAST 5 YEARS. APART FROM THIS VERY MINOR DETAIL, THE SLEEVE IS IN STUNNING CONDITION AND IS COMPLETELY FLAW FREE. I WOULD GO SO FAR AS TO SAY IT IS NEAR MINT. NO MARKS, NO CREASES, NO TEARS, NO SEAM SPLITS, NO EDGE OR CORNER WEAR.
SUPERB CONDITION FOR THIS SOUGHT AFTER PUNK CLASSIC WHICH IS 34 YEARS OLD.
AS A COLLECTOR MYSELF I HAVE ALWAYS LOOKED AFTER MY RECORDS, CASSETTES, CD'S AND OTHER MEMORABILIA AND STORED THEM PROPERLY. I TRY TO BE AS ACCURATE AS POSSIBLE IN MY DESCRIPTION, SO BID WITH CONFIDENCE. PACKAGING WILL CARDBOARD ENVELOPE WITH STIFFENERS.
ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE E MAIL ME. ANY PROBLEMS AT ALL AFTER SALE HAS FINISHED, PLEASE COMMUNICATE WITH ME FIRST BEFORE LEAVING FEEDBACK.
