Damned oddities

When a group has been making records for 30 years, you are bound to have some really curious items in the discography. There's records that are rare and then there are records that really have you scratching your head, saying "Can't be more than a couple copies of these!" Take this mutant for instance:






















Now when is the last time you've seen a purple Love Song 7"? Maybe this is the first time. I assume they didn't clean the machine properly! Maybe someone made it for a laugh, kind of like this one...




















This Anything 10" was released on either blue vinyl or yellow vinyl, yet someone wanted to make a "special" version! One of a kind? Supposedly. Only its creator knows for sure...





















This Belgian Don't Cry Wolf 7" (normal copies are yellow or the rarer orange wax) is one of the few made between the changing of the colours. How many could there be? The fact is that the only one I know of is in Oliver Breit's collection. Sure there has to be a few, I've seen similar looking Belgian Stiff singles, but since this is The Damned you can bet it will sell for a little more than a Wreckless Eric or Nick Lowe record.


















All right, this one is NOT an album by The Damned but it sure looks like one! Only their pictures are on it, Henrik Poulsen owns it so we'll have to ask him what band it is. Home made or not, still looks nice.


Well there you have it, possibly a few to add to the wants list (or not!), never ends does it?
