The Damage Done (Japanese fake)
From SistersWiki.org - The Sisters Of Mercy Fan Wiki
This is a quite well made replica of the original Damage Done 7" single and the first one that surfaced at the time.
Release Notes
- Label: unknown
- Catalogue#: MR7
- Format: 7" vinyl single
- Released: in the early 1980s (Japan)
Remarks
- The bootleg shows basically all the features of the original including the initial Merciful Release logo and the original catalogue#
- However, the thin matt paper sleeves have a thumb cut of only 2 1/4" length compared to the 4" thumb cuts of the original
- In addition and more importantly, the cover print is slightly darker than the original and the photo on the cover front
- is cut off, so that the cross on top of the church is out of view
- The labels, too, look slightly more black than the original brownish-black ones and are all placed on the wrong side.
- Runouts do also differ and have surfaced in two versions:
- Side A, hand-etched: PAE-03A / Side B, hand-etched: PAE-03B (9B erased)
- Side A, hand-etched: PAE-03A FOR SPIGGY / Side B, hand-etched: PAE-03B
