  Teen Idles 7"EP 2nd Pressing Dischord #1 ABSOLUTE MINT DESCRIPTION: Very rare, MINT condition copy of 2nd Pressing of The Teen Idles' 1st 7" EP, "Minor Disturbance", originally released in November 1980.  Dischord No. 1, Dischord Records, Washington, DC.  Besides being cool because it was our first record, there were also very few copies pressed.   There were 1,000 copies were made of the 1st pressing (with glossy, thick paper  sleeve).   Copies from this 2nd pressing (with thin paper cover) are actually rarer, because of the 1,000 copies pressed, 150-200 got warped on tour.   Only 800-850 copies survived.    Black vinyl record with white labels, in white paper sleeve.  Includes 11" x 17" lyric sheet with photos of the band and list of places we got banned from. 
The Teen Idles had saved up $600 in a cigar box from shows we'd played, and although the band was breaking up (guitarist Geordie Grindle was going off to school and bassist Ian MacKaye wanted to try singing), and decided to put out a record.  Knowing no one else was going to put it out, we put it out ourselves, with advice on pressing plants and printing places from our friend Skip Groff, owner of our favorite record store, Yesterday and Today Records. 
 The front cover of the record shows Alec MacKaye's fists, proudly X'd with magic marker to signify being too young to be served alcohol and proud of it and not really terribly interested in drinking anyway. Back cover shows the Teen Idles and fellow members of the DC Hardcore scene outside The Chancery, a club in Washington, DC.  If you look carefully, you can see Teen Idles memebers Ian MacKaye, drummer Jeff Nelson, Geordie Grindle (with his back to camera in front), and singer Nathan Strejeck, along with Henry Rollins, Eddie Janney, Brian Baker, Michael Hampton, Danny Ingrahm, and others.  People pictured were in or went on to play in bands such as Minor Threat, Youth Brigade, S.O.A., Black Flag, Henry Rollins Band, Untouchables, The Faith, Rites of Spring, One Last Wish, Happy Go Licky, Tone, Fugazi, The Evens, Bad Religion. 
There are 8 songs on this record: "Teen Idles", "Sneakers", "Get Up and Go", "Deadhead", "Fleeting Fury", "Fiorruci Nightmare", "Getting in My Way", and "Too Young to Rock." 
CONDITION / PROVENANCE:  This record is in mint condition, has never been played, and has been kept in a plastic sleeve away from light and dust since it was made almost 29 years ago.  The record cover was printed on a thin paper stock.  Each cover was cut, folded, and glued by hand, and the thinner paper made accidents with glue much worse.  
 That is why I am seriously shocked at how pristine this particular copy is - it's in absolutely mint condition.  I have seriously never seen one better.  It is as good as any copies I am keeping for my permanent archives.  
 This record was put in a plastic bag very early in its life, it has stayed there for the last 30 years, and it is basically in the same shape it was after being assembled - except in much nicer shape than most of the ones we made and sold.  You KNOW I kept the best copies for my archives!  
I doubt you will ever find one nicer than this, and chances are I will never sell another copy.
This record comes from my (Jeff Nelson - Minor Threat/Dischord Records) punk archives, which are being downsized after continuing to be described as "too big" and "insane" or containing "more than my potential kids or grandkids will ever want."  Please see my auction for lots of other punk/hardcore flyers and records as well as other jetsam I'll be putting up for sale......
