  Minor Threat 7"EP 2nd Pressing (Yellow) Dischord MINT Never been played, in plastic bag since it was made DESCRIPTION: Absolutely MINT condition copy of 3rd pressing of Minor Threat's 1st 7" EP, originally released in June 1981. Dischord No. 3, Dischord Records, Washington, DC.  Only 1,000 copies were pressed of this 2nd pressing.  Black vinyl record, pale blue labels (with wonderfully immodest slogan "Putting D.C. on the Map" under Dischord logo).  Plain white paper inner sleeve, housed in thin yellow paper sleeve.  Record includes folded lyric sheet.
 Who knows why the Yellow cover version of this first Minor Threat record is harder to find than the Red (1st) or Green (3rd) pressings, given that there were 1,000 of each pressed.  But I remember that even 20 years ago, we (the band and Dischord Records) noticed that Yellow was the scarcest color of the four made.  Certainly the paper used on this 2nd pressing was thinner than that used on the 1st, 3rd, and 4th pressings, and therefore it is very hard to find copies where the cover is not all bent up. 
 This Minor Threat record has 8 songs: "Filler", "I Don't Wanna Hear It", "Seeing Red", "Straight Edge", "Small Man, Big Mouth", "Screaming At A Wall", "Bottled Violence", and "Minor Threat." Produced by Minor Threat, Mixed by Skip Groff. Recorded by Don Zientara at Inner Ear Studios in Arlington, Virginia (on 4-track tapedeck, in the basement of his house). 
 I am not going to sell many more copies of this record, so this may be your last chance to get such a dead mint copy. 
CONDITION / PROVENANCE:  This record is in absolutely mint condition.  I remember clearly that while folding the thinner yellow paper of this second pressing was easier than folding the thicker red, green, and blue paper stock used for the 1st, 3rd, and 4th pressings, gluing the thinner covers was a bit harder, and the completed covers tended to stick together more.   This record has never been played, and has been kept in a plastic sleeve away from light and dust since it was made (28 or 29 years now).  Good luck finding another copy in such pristine condition.  This record is unconditionally guaranteed to be original, from late 1981 or early 1982 (can't remember).  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...... 
PAYMENT: Ohio Residents add 6.75% Sales Tax to item total (not shipping).  Payment by PayPal only, says eBay.  Please pay within 3 days of auction end.
SHIPPING: This record is pretty darn valuable, so I will pack it between thick cardboard and then put it inside a bigger box.  Within USA, Priority Mail will be calculated based on where you live, and on top of that I'm afraid I have to add $9.05 in "handling costs" ($ 2.35 for Signature Confirmation, and $6.70 for insurance.  eBay now requires that the seller (me) provide insurance, so I am also adding 6.70, which is my guess as to what the Post Office will charge me).  I will only charge you what actual postage, signature confirmation and insurance works out to be.  If it's less, I'll give you a refund.  If it's more, I'll pay for it.  Outside of USA, reasonable Airmail rates apply. I'll be happy to give you a quote for postage to your country.  International buyers: I WILL SEND YOU AN E-MAIL INVOICE WITH YOUR TOTAL AND SHIPPING OPTIONS. PLEASE DO NOT PAY UNTIL YOU RECEIVE AN E-MAIL FROM ME.  If you might bid on some other flyers I have up for auction, just let me know - I'll be happy to combine shipping, and in so doing save you money, me effort, and the Earth trees... Thanks for looking!
REFUNDS:  I guarantee 100% the authenticity of everything I am selling, and strive to describe the condition of items as accurately as possible.  I will only accept returns if you have e-mailed me first and I have agreed to refund your money.
Payment by PayPal only (eBay rules). Please pay within 3 days of auction end.  308 (GS 5.3.7 (308))
