It's amazing what one finds when looking for something else. While going through tape after tape putting together the
20 Years of Dischord
box set,
Ian MacKaye
and company found these tapes that comprise the first recording session of the now legendary
hardcore
band
Minor Threat
. Granted, there are no new tracks here and no new revelations musically, but it is interesting to hear the playing progression from these demos to the tracks that actually made release (which can be found on the
Complete Discography
CD). A very cool view into the embryonic days and some rather hilarious pictures of the D.C. kids make this a very desirable item for fans of the band. ~ Chris True
