History

Damaged Goods started in 1988 from a living room in east London.Ian Damaged called it DamagedGoods. The first release was a re-issue of the 1977 single by Slaughter and the Dogs, "Where Have All the Bootboys Gone?". After great reviews in the UK weeklies it was followed swiftly by the band's debut album Do It Dog Style. Releases by Adam and the Ants, The Killjoys, Pork Dukes, and Snivelling Shits followed. Originally Damaged Goods was intended to be a re-issue punk label but by 1990, it released current bands with singles by The Roadholders, The Sect, and the debut Manic Street Preachers.

In early 1991, they released their first single by Billy Childish and Thee Headcoats, followed by many more, including the debut Headcoatees single as well. They now work closely with Childish, looking after his entire catalogue. 1992–1994, Damaged Goods released the debut single from Helen Love along with one off singles with Atari Teenage Riot, New Bomb Turks, Wat Tyler and Asian Dub Foundation. By 1995, DG was a full time occupation concentrating on the UK garage scene based around Toe Rag Studios in London and Slim Chance’s Wild Western Rooms in Archway as well as Indie and Punk releases.

In 1995, they released the debut Holly Golightly album The Good Things. They have released thirteen albums by Holly.
