Release Notes

• Label: - none -
• Catalogue#: MR 7 (imitating the original)
• Format: 7" vinyl single
• Released: 2009 (Australia)

Remarks

• This record was partly distributed as record one within a set of three records, issued in Australia and limited to 1,000 copies, that presented the first three singles on coloured vinyl.

However, some months before the release of that three-singles-set the present Damage Done record was sold already as an individual "re-release" from the UK.

The covers of the UK issue and the Australia set-release differ slightly in tone (and print quality), so maybe the UK-release was a test charge to see how a re-issue as such would sell.

Meanwhile, ever more individual copies surface at a price often higher than the initial price for the whole set.

• The records run at 45 rpm and come in a glossy sleeve that opens to the side.

• The tracks are taken from the original Damage Done single

• The covers imitate the original Merciful Release but in a way lower print quality and give the acutal bootleg-release year "2009" beneath the logo.

• The cover back and the label on the A-side show an imitation of the head and star logo in its early stage - as on the original.

And, the label on side B of the vinyl is also a mere copy from the The Damage Done (single).
