DISCHORD #12 MINOR THREAT LP light blue ($4) LP with insert and vinyl 1987 see

This copy is light blue with the $4 price label. It is Minor Threat's first 2 7"s in LP form, and every song still rules, 30 years later. If you want to see me make a fool of myself in public, just play any song off of this album in my face.

Here was some thorough research I found on the history of this album. at http://seekingthesimple.wordpress.com/vinyl/dischord-records/

Originally released as a 12” in 1984. Released in 1981 as 2 7” EP’s.DIS-12 Minor Threat – “s/t” LP

I sometimes accidentally call this the Minor Threat “Discography” LP just because I’ve gotten so used to the classic Filler 7? album photo on the Discography CD. But this is really just the 7?‘s on a 12? format. This is the only Dischord #1-12 release of which I never owned a test pressing (other than the “.5? releases – I don’t have tests of those). Jeff Nelson told me these would be hard to find since they were already pressing everything through Southern Distribution by the time this record came out, and they were a much bigger type operation, so who knows what goes on with test pressings, etc.

The first pressings had red jackets, with metallic silver ink on the back and a $4.00 price. It looks like there was actually a second pressing of red jackets with grey ink (non-metallic) on the back. I actually don’t own one of each, but I’ve seen them and there’s definitely a difference.

Similar to the Out Of Step LP, they also did a UK and German release during the first pressing. The UK release has a dark blue cover with a 2.50 GBP price. The German pressing has a grey jacket with a 12 DM price. I think the German grey jacket looks so cool with the dejected vibe of the photo and also the fact they they’ve never used this color on the discography CD or the original 7?s. Eventually they switched to light blue covers for all territories, but the price stayed $4.00ppd. Over time they switched the price to $5.00ppd on the light blue jackets, and the font got bigger. You can see a pretty big difference in the shades of the blue covers. I’ll bet there’s several different shades of blue if you got tons of different pressings and compared. Next they switched to green jackets, but they still had $5.00ppd on the back. They stuck with green covers, but increased to $7.00ppd. In 2009 they finally did away with the postage paid pricing on the back, and switched to yellow jackets with re-mastered vinyl. I imagine they’ll stick with this for a long time since they won’t have to reprint jackets when postage prices keep rising all the time.

There have been times when. I thought back to the years I spent entrenched in the scene, and wondered, "what do I have to show for it now?" I guess this is part of it.

I am liquidating my record collection, holding almost nothing back, starting with LP's. If this goes well, I'll do 7"s next. It funny, doing this has stirred up a lot of emotions, so yeah, this hurts a little.

I'm just done serving as custodian to things. I'm simply seeking a more zen-like existence, completely focused on tattooing. So, I'm looking for new homes for this vinyl I amassed, mostly in the 90's. These records have been safely stored for about 2 decades.

This auction ends on Sunday, January 27th between 10:00am - 5:00 pm. During those hours, I and the records will be at the "Nerd Flea Market" held at Artisinal tattoo in Somerville, NJ. There, you can inspect the records you have your eye on before bidding, and if you win, you can save on shipping, pay cash, and carry your winning(s) home for good. You can also pick up your item(s) at Seppuku Tattoo in Bloomingdale, NJ.

If you can't make it, don't worry, I'll be happy to ship anywhere. For combined orders in my lot, just add $2 for each additional item.

I will ship internationally at buyers expense, and buyers risk. Let me know your preferred method of shipping, and I will accomodate all reasonable requests. Keep in mind that insurance and customs can get tricky when shipping internationally.

Feel free to ask any questions about the items to identify what pressing or whatever. And you can contact me if you need additional pictures. I'll do my best to fulfill all reasonable requests.
