Notes:
First pressing of this album – 2000 made. Misprinted with Eddie and the Hot Rods on the rear sleeve. With stiff erratum sticker.
The cover is unlaminated, unlike the other early pressings with the correct photograph, which are heavily laminated. At 120g in weight, the vinyl is approximately 10g lighter than those releases, which have been recorded at 130g and 134g.
A few came shrinkwrapped with red “DAMNED DAMNED” lettering on the shrink wrap, which lined up below the printed word DAMNED on the cover, to make the 3-word name of the album. Intact copies of these appear to be worth approx 3 times as much.
The Matrix/Runout details vary slightly from some of those released with the correct photographs – on side A, the notation “I-[followed by a number]” seen before the word “SEEZ” is sometimes changed to notation “S-[followed by an upside-down 5]”. On side B, the notation “I-” is on some copies followed by a high number such as 40 or 43 on those other early pressings released with the correct photograph. It does seem that when the cover was ‘corrected’ (it is now accepted by many that the incorrect photo was likely to have just been a clever marketing stunt), vinyl already pressed in the first run was used up in some of the correct sleeve versions.
Recorded in London.
Made to be played loud at low volume.
