Damage - Issue 10 punk magazine Howard Devoto 1980

Excellent condition.

Damage - officially Damage: An Inventory - was a punk fanzine from San Francisco, California. There were 13 issues, from July 1979 to June 1981, appearing roughly every two months. It was printed on 11-1/2 x 17-3/4″ newsprint. Issues were generally 36 to 48 pages long. Its editor was Brad Lapin. Contributors included Jello Biafra, Ginger Coyote, Geza X, and f-stop Fitzgerald. Two of the issues were 28- and 32-page free guides to the Western Front music and art festival in San Francisco for 1979 and 1980.

Damage covered the punk scene in Northern and Southern California, as well as international developments. OP magazine called it "one of the best new wave publications".Reporting on the local scene in the San Francisco Examiner, Bill Mandel said that Damage was "the punk Bible" [for the Bay Area, presumably]. Archivist Ryan Richardson called it “a definite contender in a state crowded with fanzine heavyweights.” Nicholas Rombes used Damage as a source for nine entries in his A Cultural Dictionary of Punk. Writer Stevie Chick included a lengthy quote from a Damage article by Jeffrey Bale to describe Black Flag's increasing popularity in his book about the band.

Grading Definitions

Records are graded using the Goldmine system, shown below for reference:

MintJacket sealed in shrink wrap or other original packaging. The vinyl in this case is sold as-is or not graded.

NM (Near Mint)No visible defects. No writing, stickers, spindle marks, or any other imperfections on label. Appears unplayed and unhandled.

VG+: Will have some light wear that may include sleeve scuffs, very light scratches, or other superficial marks.

VG: Similar imperfections to a VG+ record, but they're either more pronounced, or there is a higher number of imperfections.

G: Many imperfections, including but not limited to scratches that can be felt with a fingernail. A lot of background noise, clicks, and pops should be expected with this grade.
