sst. 002 / 7 tracks / 1980

First pressing with green sleeve, newer ones have different colors I think. Limited 1989 reissue on green vinyl. There’s a 3” CD version, too.

The first release of the Minutemen's very special blend of hardcore. Seven short, hectic blasts of fast punk with D.Boon's strangely whiny vocals and political lyrics. In contrast to Black Flag's first 7” (the previous SST release), this conveys confusion rather than aggression, still this has a lot of caffeinated hyper energy. [8]  

Einzigartige Musik, die durch Hektik, Breaks und D. Boons jammernde Stimme die einen genervt und die anderen begeistert zurückläßt. 7 kurze Songs (auch mal ohne Gitarre), sehr engagierte Texte.

Tracks: validation / the maze / definitions / sickles and hammers // fascist / joe mccarthy’s ghost / paranoid chant
