It features the following messages etched in the dead wax, proving it to be a true original FIRST PRESSING: "Wherever we may roam...", "Georgetown is our Home", "NR-12367-1", "NR-12367-B" and "JE".

Teen Idles 2. Sneakers 3. Get Up And Go 4. Deadhead 5. Fleeting Fury 6. Fiorrucci Nightmare 7. Getting In My Way 8. Too Young To Rock (live from the 9:30 Club!) The Teen Idles were founded in September 1979 on the rubbles of The Slinkees, which disbanded after their singer Mark Sullivan went to college. The Teen Idles featured Nathan Strejcek (later of Youth Brigade D.C.) on vocals and ex-Slinkees Geordie Grindle on guitar, Ian MacKaye (who later became the singer for the legendary Minor Threat and also Fugazi) on bass and Jeff Nelson (later of Minor Threat) on drums. After player together for a year, the Teen Idles decided to break up in late summer 1980 but not before releasing at least one record. They used the 600 $ they saved from playing 35 concerts and recorded those eight songs, knowing that nobody would be interested to release their record, especially since they were breaking up. They decided to release it themselves, with the help of their friend Skip Groff, who ran the "Yesterday and Today" record shop in Rockville, Maryland, as well as Limp Records, a small record label. Skip explained the Teen Idles how to release a record and that's how the guys started the legendary Dischord Records, designed the cover for this 7" and sent the tapes they had recorded to a pressing plant for a December 1980 release. And the rest is history! Soon after came S.O.A., Minor Threat, Youth Brigade, The Untouchable, Government Issue, Iron Cross and all those other D.C. hardcore bands you love! ! Record and sleeve in fantastic condition EXCEPT FOR THE FACT THAT SOME SCHMOE WROTE THE NAME OF THE WNUR CHICAGO RADIO STATION AND OTHER MESSAGES ALL OVER THE SLEEVE AND RECORD LABELS IN BLUE SHARPIE (SEE PICTURE!).
