I hadn't bought this yet, since I already have San Francisco's Doomed and the Hot Wire singe (and on vinyl so I don't have that as an excuse), but it looks like I'm gonna have to consider myself out $17 to buy this.

There is a lot of confusion about where those Black Flag recordings originate from (the version of 'Thirsty & Miserable' is not the same as the Target Video as some people say). I presume these are outtakes or rough mixes from 'Damaged', right? Pretty cool... Rollins is still trying to ape Dez at this point, his vocals are the weakest point also they are a notch slower than the final versions; but give an good idea of how 'Damaged' should have / would have sounded if it was properly produced. I bought 'Damaged' more or less when it came out in the UK (1984) and sounded fine on vinyl over on a crappy stereo, but on CD it's defects are glaring i.e. too thin, bottom end is an indistinct rumble, entirely mixed down the middle of the stereo field except for the drums which stagger like an old wino from left to right and back again. I suppose the whole idea was to give a sort of 'stun' effect but they shoulda retained Geza X... did the best donkey work with Black Flag, you can actually hear Dukowski on the stuff he produced.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
