Which punk band released the 1981 album Damaged, produced by Spot?
Answer
Black Flag
Answer
Black Flag
Black Flag released the 1981 album Damaged, produced by Spot.
Damaged was the California hardcore band's first full-length studio album. It was recorded with vocalist Henry Rollins, guitarist Greg Ginn, bassist Chuck Dukowski, and drummer Robo, the lineup most closely associated with the record.
Spot, the recording engineer and producer linked to SST Records, helped capture the band's fast, abrasive sound. The album includes “Rise Above,” “Six Pack,” and “TV Party,” songs that became staples of American hardcore punk.
The album's release was complicated by a dispute between Black Flag and Unicorn Records, which delayed its original issue through SST. Because of that dispute, early copies carried different label information and later editions varied. Damaged is sometimes confused with My War, the band's 1984 follow-up, but Damaged is the earlier and more conventionally hardcore record.
