The Damaged Goods Records Story Part 1

Steve from Retro Man Blog and Rock Photographer Paul Slattery talk to Ian Ballard, boss of the legendary Punk and Garage Rock label Damaged Goods Records. In this first episode we play and discuss some of the label's pivotal early releases and discover how Ian started off in the business. Along the way Ian and Paul chat about their experiences with the Manic Street Preachers and Billy Childish, and there are other favourites such as Graham Day and Holly Golightly. We also have an exclusive brand new track from Thee Spivs excellent forthcoming album "The Crowd and The Sounds" which is due for release on Damaged Goods on June 24th. Retro Man Blog is pleased to announce that we will be hosting Thee Spivs new album Launch Party at The Half Moon Putney on June 29th and the band will be playing along with support from The Fallen Leaves and The Past Tense.
