625 (GS 6.9.7 (625)) On 03-Jan-18 at 17:37:48 GMT, seller added the following information: I’ve been asked several questions about the Damned Dodgy Demo I’m selling, so this afternoon I took some close-up pictures of the record to show the Matrix Numbers:
Matrix / Runout (on Side A): SGS-105-A1 Matrix / Runout (on Side B): SGS-105-B1
When the item was available by mail order I firstly ordered one copy, then a further three. One was to play, which I did, so the spindle punctured the sticker on that copy, one was to keep, the other two were for friends, one of whom changed his mind.
For 39 years, I’ve had two mint copies and one with the hole punctured. When I took the photos early I noticed that the one I’m selling actually had the sticker stuck on the B-side, not the A-Side like the other two I have, making it even rarer.
If potential buyers check out a couple of my other listings, the reason I’m selling my promo of ‘Tommy Gun’ by The Clash is that my standard copy of the single was fully signed by the band at Liverpool Royal Court on 12th October 1981. In late 1980 at ‘Brady’s’ in Liverpool Youth and Jaz signed some Killing Joke records for me, I got Big Paul and Geordie to complete the set of autographs at the Forum in London on 4th October 2008, which is why I’m selling my extra copy of Turn To Red.
I’m also selling DVD copies of The Damned at Liverpool Royal Court in 1989, it was actually me who filmed this gig before doing a film degree, followed by an MA. The Access all areas pass on the rear of the DVD sleeve in that listing is mine from that gig. Later on I moved to London to direct music videos and documentaries and left all of this and more at my parents house until my father sadly passed away.
As with The Clash promo and Killing Joke record, this Dodgy Demo has been stored in my old bedroom all this time. This Dodgy Demo is the real deal, not a bootleg and is totally mint.
I hope this helps!
