8 songs. In early 1981 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, but were

apparently unsatisfied with their performance and never bothered to do

a final mix of the tape. Instead they went back into the studio a month

later and recorded what would become their debut, the 8-song eponymous

7"EP (Dischord #3). The tape of the first demo was discovered when

Dischord started work on the 'Twenty Years of Dischord' boxset. Ian

MacKaye and Don Zientara mixed the tape in December of 2001, but the

release was shelved by the label while work was being done on the

boxset. The rough mix of this first demo has appeared on bootlegs over

the years, but this is the first time that the master tapes have been

made available.
