The Damage Done - Acetate in sleeve (Side A)


The one and only acetate for The Sisters of Mercy's very first single The Damage Done.

It was dearly kept by Gary Marx until ...

"I actually had the acetate up until I left the Sisters on a less-than-friendly note in 1985.
I decided to wash that guy right out of my back-combed hair and get rid of everything
that reminded me of the band."

"I flogged white labels, recordings with studio outtakes and the treasured acetate
(for which I received the whopping sum of £30). I think I may even have included the receipt
from Porky Prime Cuts in with it, as provenance. The Sisters were already well established
and it was worth a lot more even then, but I just wanted to start over and not get wrapped up
in my own mythology."
