Damage to new head gasket

I was prepared to install my new head gasket today for my '91 9kt when I noticed that my new gasket was damaged. I bought it at eEuroparts; and unfortunately, no local parts houses stock the gasket. It appears to have had a hard edged-item dent one end between two cylinders to the extent that the flip side was kinked as well. I know that the gasket will be compressed, but I don't know if this gasket should be used or not. I REALLY don't want to repeat this process again, but I have had the car apart for over two weeks, waiting for parts and for head work, and I really want to get it back on the road. Anyway, I added the photos to my gallery under the heading of gasket. Just click on the blue logo for the link to my gallery. I would appreciate it if you took a look for yourself and gave me your opinion on the gasket.
Thanks,
Dan
