I don't know if its just the digital transfer that SST did of it but my CD copy of that album sounds absolutely dreadful. Its one of the worst mixing jobs Ive ever heard (you can barely hear the drums when Ginn's playing) and its got by far one of the worst, flattest drum sounds Ive ever heard.

A remastering job is long overdue on Damaged and The First Four Years. Black Flag have never sounded as good as they desrve to on CD.
