|
| Tracklisting / Additional Info: |
1. Stretcher Case Baby
2. Sick Of Being Sick
This legendary item was given away to punters who attended a series of shows at the original Marquee Club in Soho, London in July 1977 to celebrate the bands first anniversary. Some were also given out via the NME as a competition prize.
Superb picture sleeve which appears to be a skull at first glance but when looked at more closely is an image of a lady looking in the mirror and her reflection. On the reverse is 2 black & white photos of the band in full manic live on stage action with the 'Stiff Records' logo and the wording 'ISSUED FREE AS FIRST ANNIVERSARY GIFT' underneath.
The labels have 2 more 'white-on-black' skull images - one with the band members heads on and the other with tracklisting details followed by the wording:
"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."
In the run-out grooves there is the following etching/matrix numbers:
"DAMMED-1-1 I SAID YOU BETTER HAVE THE ALBUM I SAID YOU BETTER HAVE THE ALBUM
DAMMED-2-1 ONE YEAR OLDS"

7" which was never available for retail sale, but instead was originally
given away at a series of London gigs and through an NME competition
to celebrate the bands first anniversary,also including Sick Of Being
Sick. This is a legendary item from the beginning of the punk era, with
superb picture sleeve and matching skull labels. The sleeve shows a
little light shelfwear to the edges & age discolouration but is in
otherwise excellent condition while the vinyl shows very little signs of
play. A fantastic example of this great 'punk' collectable!) )
