This is a rare, mint-condition copy of the 1st pressing of Minor Threat's 12" EP, which was comprised of their 2 7" EPs. There were 3 different versions, all pressed in France, and all released simultaneously in 1984: This is the British version, and the cover was printed with Dark Blue, Black, and Light Blue inks. On back cover it says "Pay No More Than £2.50." Other two versions were: German, with Warm Gray, Black and Yellow inks, on back cover it says "Zahl Nicht Mehr Als DM12" (Pay No More Than 12 Deutschmarks), and American, printed with Red, Black, and Silver (later Gray) inks, and with "$4.00 Postpaid from Dischord" on back cover. The British and German versions were much more limited, and were only in these color combinations. The American version, by contrast, has been in print since 1984, and there have been various color combinations tried out over the years. Included is lyric sheet with photos of band, printed on glossy paper stock....CONDITION: Record has never, ever been played, absolutely mint condition. If blue looks different in the photos of the front and back covers, it's because my camera was freaking out at the combination of the deep blue cover and red velvet background I was using. I had to play with both in Photoshop to approximate the actual color of the record, with mixed results. Actual record does not look weird, and is mint!...PROVENANCE: This record comes from the punk archives of Jeff Nelson ( Minor Threat / Dischord Records ), which are being downsized after having recently been described as "too big" and "insane.".....Ohio residents add 7% sales tax (before shipping costs)....SHIPPING: Within the USA, Media Mail/Delivery Confirmation will be $3.00, or Priority Mail/Delivery Confirmation for $8.00. Insurance is optional, for an additional $1.65. I would strongly urge buyer to purchase insurance, because without it, I cannot give refund for package lost or damaged. International buyers: contact me and I'll get you a quote on postage to your country. If someone buys multiple records from me, I will of course do everything I can to combine shipments and save you money in postage.....PAYMENT accepted via PayPal, Money Order, or Personal Check (item will ship once check clears). International bidders: Sorry, payment by PayPal only. Winning bidders - I value good communication, and will strive to e-mail you with your total within a day or so after the auction ends. Please see my other auctions for other early punk records and flyers....U.S. Out of Iraq !! Don't attack Iran or let Israel attack them !! That would be insane! Let's hope the elections take our country in a better direction.
