About this item

It was early 1981 when Washington DC's Minor Threat made their first trip to the studio. The band recorded all of the songs that they had written in the short time they had been together (three months), but were apparently unsatisfied with their performance and never bothered to do a final mix of the tape. This unmixed tape of the first demo was discovered when Dischord started work on the "Twenty Years Of Dischord" box set. Mixed by Ian MacKaye and Don Zientara (of Inner Ear Studios) in December 2001, these recordings were only previously available as low quality rough mixes on bootlegs.
