MINOR THREAT In My Eyes RED VINYL only 125 copies made!
Rare xeroxed 1st version of sleeve (s in Gary Cousins) DESCRIPTION: Absolutely MINT condition copy of 1st pressing (Red Vinyl) of Minor Threat's 2nd 7" EP, released in December 1981. Dischord No. 5 / Limp Records No. 41, in rare xeroxed sleeve.  Only 1,000 copies were pressed, and of those 1,000, the first 125 are EXTREMELY rare.  We did not have the covers done in time for a show we were playing, and so made 125 xeroxed covers.  These 125 covers have a misspelling of "Gary Cousins" in the credits (should have been "Gary Cousin").  Record is in original white paper inner sleeve, with xeroxed, folder-over  paper sleeve, inside original (quite thin and loose) plastic bag.  (all subsequent copies of "In My Eyes" featured hand-folded and glued record cover)  This record does NOT include a lyric sheet, as the lyric sheet was not completed yet.  None of the first 125 records came with a lyric sheet, unless we thought to stick one in with the record later on.  None of my copies of the record have a lyric sheet in them.   
 This Minor Threat record has 4 songs: "In My Eyes", "Out of Step (with the world)", "Guilty of Being White",  and "Steppin' Stone".  Recorded by Don Zientara at Inner Ear Studios in Arlington, Virginia (on 4-track tapedeck, in the basement of his house).  Produced by Minor Threat. Mixed by Minor Threat and Don.  Made possible by Skip Groff (of Yesterday & Today records, and owner of Limp Records).


CONDITION / PROVENANCE:  This record is in mint condition, and has been kept in its original plastic sleeve away from light and dust since it was made (almost 28 years now).  The paper sleeve has a very slight, very gentle bend on the left side of the front cover/right side of back cover (see photo, which actually makes it look far worse than it is), which happened because the xerox paper was so thin.  It is as good as any of the copies I am keeping in my permanent archives.  This record has never been played.  Good luck finding another copy in such pristine condition.   I REALLY, REALLY doubt I will ever sell another copy of this first version of "In My Eyes", so this will likely be your last chance to buy an untouched, absolutely mint-condition copy.  This record is unconditionally guaranteed to be original, from 1981.  It 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......
