The Damned

Comes from 'UK' 7" vinyl

Stretcher Case Baby - EX

THE DAMNED Stretcher Case Baby (Rare 1977 UK promotional vinyl 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!)

Tracklisting & More Information

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"
