For those interested in hearing the "how it all began" of the band that began it all for abstain-core DC punk, Dischord have mixed and officially released the recently rediscovered first Minor Threat demo. There are no surprises you've heard all of these songs before, tuned and refined, mainly on the first Minor Threat EP. So this recording functions as a novelty, complete with nostalgic cutesy photos and teenage boy voice cracks. The sound is exactly as expected not-so-complete, rough around the edges material. You'll want this probably only as a back up for when you misplace your Complete Discography, or if you're into impressing friends with that ridiculously completist early '80s hardcore collection.
