Edited 2 months agoAs Jungluthr states, this is a beast of a mastering job! Aggressive, in your face loud yet reveals nice subtle variances in the mix. Reminds me of the OG Clash UK releases where guitars just jump from the speakers yet retain all the midrange and thumping bass. The volume is rather modest so you can fucking crank the sound to 11, without any shrillness or sibilance. This attacks you. Get it. -
Edited 3 years agoI own the first pressing and this one. Both are in NM condition. I have a fairly high-end audiophile system. I have A/B’d these pressings several times. This pressing differs greatly from the first pressing sonically. I don’t think one would have to even have a high-end hi-fi to notice the difference, any decent stereo will do it, as the sonic characteristics of each are so vastly different they are quite easy to tell apart. The 1982 repress is far and away the better of the two pressings. It crushes the first pressing imo (which actually bums me out as I’d love to have the version with the “Anti-Parent” sticker be the version I pull out to listen to as well as to show off to friends). The first pressing is terrible in comparison which I suspect is why the record was remastered and re-cut just one year later in the first place. Get the first pressing for the packaging and sticker if you’re a Black Flag collector but get this pressing if you want to hear the best pressing of Damaged. Also, it’s not just the best pressing of Damaged, it’s a truly rip roaring, beast of a mastering job! This pressing sounds incredible put up against almost any other hardcore, punk, metal album I have. It’s a super hot master and the best one out there for Damaged (later pressings are not as good either). -
I actually happen to own both this release and the original release with the MCA logo (I own both since the MCA one has a heat warp that makes it so it skips a minute into the first song on each side). As far as I can tell, there isn't a difference in audio quality between the 2. If you don't care about a sticker or logo on the album, and want to get an early copy, get this one. -
If you are under 18 and listen to "DAMAGED" for the first time,
you can never forget it........
