The FLEX Gallery - Dischord

teenid.jpg 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.


soa_no1.jpg Another classic with Henry Rollins on vocals. First press on green, second & third on black vinyl.


soa_no2.jpg 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.


minor1.jpg There are four pressings of the first Minor Threat EP, all have the same design, but a different paper color.

gileg.jpg The first GI's EP - only one pressing and quite tough to get these days.


necros.jpg

The Necros EP was the first Dischord co-release, this time with Touch & Go records.


necros2.jpg 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.


youth.jpg The singer on this EP is Nathan Strejcek who was also the vocalist for the Teen Idols. One pressing only.


flex1.jpg This classic compilation had four different sleeves. The violin one came first (4000 made), then the wheat field (3000 made).


flex2.jpg 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.


flex4.jpg If you buy the CD version, you get all 4 sleeves, by the way.


ssd_kids.jpg This classic Straight Edge LP was a co-release with XClaim records from Boston. Only one pressing if you don't count the bootlegs.


fvsplit.jpg I especially loved the Void side of this split release. Crazy stuff.


iron1.jpg 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.


iron2.jpg The back sleeve is totally different.

scream.jpg This was the first Dischord release that moved a little bit away from the 100% hardcore. Still a great record I think.


minor7.jpg 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.


minor8.jpg 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.


doubleo.jpg 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.


giboyc1.jpg Government Issue's first LP came out with different sleeves. The picture on the original pressing was a bit smaller.


giboyc2.jpg The repress had a larger pic; colored copies had a sticker on the cover.


giboyc3.jpg There is also a misprint of the second cover which is reversely printed.


unite.jpg The first United Mutation EP, a wild record. Split release with the DSI label, also from DC.
