This is a very rare test pressing of the DC Hardcore compilation LP, "Flex Your Head", in mint condition. Dischord Records, (Dischord No. 7), Washington, DC, 1982. "Flex Your Head" was Dischord Records' first LP, after having put out six 7" EPs the previous year. The bands on this sampler included The Teen Idles, Untouchables, State of Alert (S.O.A.), Minor Threat, Government Issue, Youth Brigade, Red C, Void, Iron Cross, Artificial Peace, and Deadline...... DESCRIPTION / CONDITION: This test pressing was intended for radio stations and fanzines, but was never sent out. Test Pressing is inside plain white cardboard sleeve (purchased from pressing plant) with "7" handwritten in upper right-hand corner by Jeff Nelson to denote Dischord No. 7. Record itself has Nashville Record Productions label on one side (with handwritten in-house catalog number), and strange label on the other side (looks to be an offset from some other record's label, so partially legible type is all reversed). Record is in original paper inner sleeve, with 8 1/2" x 11" xerox glued to it. (Xerox is original, from 1982, and is copy of right half of back cover art for "Flex Your Head", showing track listing. Glue has mostly come unglued (see photo), but xerox is still attached to inner sleeve. (if winning bidder desires, I can glue it back down with my secret formula "hardcore" glue. I am joking.) This record has never, ever, been played, and except for aforementioned xerox having become partially unglued, record is completely, totally mint...... PROVENANCE: This record is unconditionally guaranteed to be 100% original, and comes from the punk archives of Jeff Nelson ( Minor Threat / Dischord Records / Adult Swim Records ), which are being downsized after having recently been described as "too big" and "insane."....... PAYMENT: Ohio residents must add 7% sales tax (before shipping costs). You can pay with PayPal, Money Order, or Personal Check (check must be drawn on U.S. bank, and item will ship once check clears). Foreign bidders welcome, but payment must be by PayPal..... SHIPPING: Record will be properly packaged in oversize box, to protect what is a pretty scarce and valuable LP. Therefore, it will weigh a bit more and cost a bit more to ship than LP in normal mailer. Within the USA, Priority Mail/Delivery Confirmation/Insurance will cost $8.00.....International buyers: please contact me and I'll get you a quote on postage to your country. Tracking and Insuring package is not possible for overseas shipments unless package is sent by most expensive postal rate or FedEx. If someone buys multiple records from me, I will of course do everything I can to combine shipments and save you money in postage.....WINNING BIDDER: I value good communication, and will strive to e-mail you with your total within a day or so after the auction ends. If you beat me to it, and e-mail me first, so much the better. If I don't respond right away, it's only because I am buried in e-mails. Thanks for looking at my auction and for reading all of this....U.S. Out of Iraq !! Don't attack Iran or let Israel attack them !! Let's flex our heads for a change. Maybe after 2008?
