"SST Records and Unicorn Records jointly manufactured the 'Thirsty and Miserable / Life of Pain' single as a tool to help promote the upcoming 'Damaged' album. One thousand copies were made and given to Licorice Pizza, a record store chain in southern California. Licorice Pizza employees were told to give the records away to anyone who might be interested. After the promotion period was over, there were still quite a few copies of the record left, which the stores promptly THREW IN THE TRASH. Nobody really knows for sure how many were disposed of and how many exist today. The original had no picture sleeve or packaging of any kind... The 'Thirsty and Miserable / Life of Pain' single was the first Black Flag release with Henry Rollins on vocals. The bonus song is a never-release version of 'Spray Paint' with Dez Cadena on vocals." -- liner notes.
