This is the one that started it all - Dischord #1 with first
appearances of Ian Mackaye and Jeff Nelson. The first edition had a thicker
paper sleeve.
Another classic with Henry Rollins on vocals. First press on
green, second & third on black vinyl.
The third press has a slightly different sleeve, if you look
closely you'll notice that someone added a Black Flag logo on Henry's arm.
There are four pressings of the first Minor Threat EP, all
have the same design, but a different paper color.
The first GI's EP - only one pressing and quite tough to get
these days.
The Necros EP was the first Dischord co-release, this time with Touch & Go records.
A special edition of this EP was sold at a gig in a skate park; the front
cover is the same, but the back sleeve is different:
The first 125 copies of the red vinyl pressing of the second Minor Threat EP had a weird xerox sleeve which is a bit different from the regular sleeves. Among other things there is a typo on the back sleeve, it says “Gary Cousins” instead of “Gary Cousin” like on the other covers.
It is also a quite a bit lighter than the regular sleeves, here's a third press sleeve to compare with.
The singer on this EP is Nathan Strejcek who was also the
vocalist for the Teen Idols. One pressing only.
This classic compilation had four different sleeves. The violin
one came first (4000 made), then the wheat field (3000 made).
Alternative Tentacles in England pressed 2000 with the legendary XXX
sleeve. The symbol is a parody of the “DC flag” which has three stars over
two bars.
The fourth and final vinyl pressing is also the most common one.
If you buy the CD version, you get all 4 sleeves, by the way.
This classic Straight Edge LP was a co-release with XClaim
records from Boston. Only one pressing if you don't count the bootlegs.
I especially loved the Void side of this split release. Crazy
stuff.
Another co-release, this time with Skinflint. A limited green
vinyl issue was also issued (later, I think, and mainly for trade
purposes). The front cover is slightly different, not just a xerox of the
regular sleeve.
The back sleeve is totally different.
This was the first Dischord release that moved a little bit
away from the 100% hardcore. Still a great record I think.
Minor Threat's first 12” was released with a million different sleeves. The
very first one was a silk screened sleeve with only one large sheep, it
came only with some test pressings. The first regular sleeve is easy to
spot because the back sleeve is completely black.
The front sleeve is also a bit different from the other versions, but it's
a bit hard to spot it in my scan (sorry). There's an outline around the
band logo, and the sheep are a bit different.
The second pressing has a grey back sleeve with pictures and track infos.
There's no outline around the logo.
All the other pressings have a broad colored stripe across the top of the
front sleeve. There are three US pressings with light blue, dark blue and
blue-green stripes, a UK pressing with a red stripe and a German pressing
with a green stripe. If you have any of these, please send a scan, thanx.
Double-O was a great band with Bert Queiroz (ex-Youth Brigade DC) on bass.
This EP was a split release with the excellent and underrated R&B label.
Government Issue's first LP came out with different sleeves. The picture on
the original pressing was a bit smaller.
The repress had a larger pic; colored copies had a sticker on the cover.
There is also a misprint of the second cover which is reversely printed.
The first United Mutation EP, a wild record. Split release with the DSI
label, also from DC.
