Missing from here:
CLEAR ACETATE COVER: Jeff Nelson printed 5 sleeves on clear acetates to see how the cover art would look with different colors, this is how they came to the decision to use red for the first issue and so on.

Also, apparently there's at least a few copies of the first pressing where there's no glue tabs, just a foldover for some reason...

White sleeves apparently exist too.

Why is this listed as "Filler"? Isn't this EP called "Minor Threat"?

There are 2 different lyric sheets the one with `ian dropping microphone` pic is rarest

some clear and white sleeves were made but with no intention to be released.. mostly unfolded, and most still reside at dischord

Saw them at Great Gildersleeves back in 83?
Underrated club next to CB's . Hells Angels started a fight! Minor Threat had the energy and angst! Now where left with Ian the commentator! Him and Howard Cosell Rollins, never shut up!
Still all and all, one of my favorite Hardcore 7"'s !!!

No reviews of one of the most important and influential hardcore records ever made??

Well, there's not much to say which hasn't already been said, but this makes early 80s UK hardcore punk sound like Journey. Fast, brutal hardcore, like a speeded-up, even angrier version of Discharge. Every track's a classic.

Hugely influential, and spawned a thousand imitators, but few came close to the power or influence of Minor Threat. If you claim to be into hardcore and you don't have this record in some form or another, then you probably think Limp Bizkit are hardcore :)
