Details for your forgetful head.....
Speak English or Die and first hiatus (1985–1991)After finishing his guitar tracks on the Anthrax album Spreading the Disease, Scott Ian would draw pictures of a character known as "Sargent D." The pictures would be accompanied by slogans such as "I'm not racist; I hate everyone" and "Speak English or Die," and Ian would write lyrics about the character. He decided to form a hardcore band based on Sargent D, so he recruited Anthrax drummer Charlie Benante, ex-Anthrax bassist Dan Lilker, and Psychos bassist Billy Milano on vocals.
They recorded a 63-song demo called Crab Society North and set to work on an album for Johnny Zazula's Megaforce Records. The album, titled Speak English or Die, was recorded and mixed over three days and has since been hailed as a landmark album that was among the first to fuse hardcore punk with thrash metal. They toured in support of the album in 1985, opening for Motörhead and The Plasmatics, among others. Their music served as the theme of the '80s incarnation of MTV's Headbangers Ball. They planned a follow-up titled USA For S.O.D.,, which was ultimately scrapped and never recorded.
After their tour ended, Lilker carried on with the band Nuclear Assault while Benante and Ian continued with Anthrax. Milano formed the spin-off band Method of Destruction, known as M.O.D. The band's first album U.S.A. for M.O.D., featured many lyrics written by Scott Ian, as well as an altered version of "Aren't You Hungry," an unrecorded S.O.D. song played during their 1985 tour

Selling off some of my personal collection, all LP's purchased back in the day and have history.
Take note---
All these records have survived drunken idiot friends, uncaring past room mates, and one evil-whore-thief sister. They have been relocated, stolen, stored, loved, lost, found, and recovered. They have survived trailer trash swinger parties,...and many drug fueled/hyper-drunken out of control leather bashes with barn animals, ferrets, and pit-bulls nearby. They have also made it past the occasional police action, and several tactical location changes around this Good old USA...
