Double-Sided Singles Release
Stop the presses! Damian is participating in Record Store Day 2023 with a special release. The format will be a 7-inch record, what industry folks refer to as a 45, with an A and B side (flip-side) of music recordings “Zaragoza” and “Never Judge A Man By His Umbrella.” Do you know what artist has the most US double-sided singles with each side reaching Billboard Top 40? That’s right, Elvis Presley! This special release is not available for purchase online on the day of the event so visit your local store on Saturday, April 22, 2023 in the UK.

Damian’s album will be released on June 16, 2023.
