Question about Damage Done
Posted: 28 Dec 2008, 14:35
by Passing_through
I am about to put my (genuine) copy of the single on Ebay so I've had to play the dratted thing again to make sure it's OK. Oh well it's a sure-fire way to annoy the neighbours.
I had forgotten that about two-thirds of the way through 'Watch' it goes to mono (ie only comes out of one speaker), is this usual or is it something peculiar to my copy? It's always done this.
If anyone who has a copy can let me know I'd be v grateful, thanks.
(I would offer it here, as a rule I prefer to let stuff go to fans, but to be honest I need the money and will probably get more for it on Ebay. For info I will be putting a demo cassette up at the same time, no idea how rare or otherwise it is. I'm playing it now, it's bloody awful.)

Actually I love it. It's very rough, and much better than the Damage done single IMO. To each his own...

Apparently the tape was distributed in very small quantities. Mind you, they didn't have a huge fanbase at that point.

Side 1 tracks were all pressed up as the Floorshow EP. Side 2 tracks were pressed up as the Damage Done + 3 live boot and the Good Things + 2 bootleg. Not sure about the last Sister Ray version though - is that on The Damage Is Done lp? Am sure it's on a bootleg somewhere, but I don't have my databases with me!

The Floorshow EP first pressing is pretty rare as well and very nice.

Yup, 500 copies in fact!
The live tracks on the B-side of that 'demos' tape appear on 'The Damage Is Done' and 'Rough Diamonds' boots.

What's the reserve on your Ebay's Damage Done?

£220.
Are any of you people who have a copy able to answer my question? Doesn't matter overmuch, I have mentioned it in my listing, but am curious to know if it's just my copy that does this or if they all do.

Yes, it'd be great to get that much for mine but as it isn't in such pristine condition I didn't want to be too greedy! Anyhow the reserve price is the absolute minimum I'm prepared to sell it for, please don't let that stop any of you from bidding silly money LOL.
