Minor Threat Original 1st 7” 1st Pressing w/ Cool Insert. What can I say about this record that hasn’t already been said? I can tell you personally that the song ‘Minor Threat’ is one of my two top favorite hardcore songs of all time (the other is ‘Chunks’ by Last Rights). Let’s go over the goodies, shall we?
First the cover. It’s in darn good shape, but it definitely has some issues I need to point out:
It’s a little rough around the edges, and while it’s a glued sleeve, it’s splitting at the bottom. I’ve taken pictures of it at an angle to the light so you can see that there are light scratch marks and abrasions on the front. Happily, when looking at it normally it looks great.
Also, sadly enough on the lower left side of the front cover there are a couple of small places where the ink has come off as if there was a tiny sticker or two there. Because of the way the cover was printed however, you really can’t notice this easily – but I’ve included a photo with some green arrows pointing to the spots to highlight them. I mention them for accuracy, but like I said – not really noticeable under normal conditions.
The vinyl - hoo boy, it’s in amazing shape! Nothing to report except that you’re going to be really happy with it! Of course the label is yellow, correct for the 1st printing.
The insert - in great condition, and normally that would be it. But, this insert is way cool because there’s a hand written note to “Tim” asking about photocopies for the record. Who wrote it, was it Ian? Was it Lyle? Who knows, but it’s probably Jeff since he did the graphics. Anyhoo, If you really wanted I’ll bet you could track down some of these guy’s writing and figure it out.
As with all my photos, please ignore spots on the vinyl – there’s hella static electricity around here and it’s just dust and lint.
In the process of selling a good deal of very rare & old punk and hardcore records from my 30+ year personal collection. Going to be listing Revelation, Dischord, X-Claim, Misfits, NYHC, etc. Keep an eye on my listings. Or don’t.
I’m a collector and I ship the way I want rare items shipped to me - so have no fear, your record(s) will arrive safe. Oh, and they will be insured for full value & need a signature upon delivery. I will ship internationally, but it’s pretty pricey.
I was really hoping to not be “that guy” with a bunch of stupid rules and caveats - but I’d like to mention that (unless I say a record is new, mint, unplayed, etc): the majority of records in my collection have been played & enjoyed, some over many years.
So if you’re the type of collector who wears lint-free white cotton gloves when you handle your vinyl - that’s great, I applaud your attention to the little things. But, I also ask that you please not bid on my auctions. You’ll save us both a great deal of time & trouble, because there’s very little chance my records are going to hold up under your expert scrutiny. Life is too short, mkay?
One last thing: I’m not currently accepting offers on my records - the auction format is it for now.
Thanks for reading this far, and good luck.
