Black Flag - nervous breakdown 7"

  • sst records. 001 / 4 tracks / 1978
  • RI (10”): sst. 916
  • 500 made of the first pressing, different cover and labels. 2nd press with red lettering on cover, 3rd press (1989?) on red vinyl, blue lettering. Also available on cassette single, 10” vinyl (some on blue vinyl), 3” and 5” CD.
  • First Black Flag EP, first SST release - and many claim that this is the first hardcore record. The band never wanted to be hardcore, though, and Greg Ginn thought of his music rather as a rougher sort of blues rock. Tough, uncompromising, psychotic hardcore punk classic; maybe a little simpler than the stuff they did later, but that doesn’t have to be a bad thing… This has also Ginn’s legendary guitar sound. Great. [9]
  • Die erste Black-Flag-Platte, gleichzeitig auch die erste Platte des SST-Labels. Für diese Zeit ungewöhnlich hart, kompromißlos und psychotisch; eben so wie auch die späteren Songs bis zur Damaged LP. Die Stücke sind zwar noch etwas einfacher, aber deshalb nicht weniger intensiv; auch die legendäre Gitarre von Greg Ginn hat hier schon ihren ungewöhnlichen Touch. Früher Hardcore-Klassiker.
  • Tracks: nervous breakdown // fix me / i’ve had it / wasted
