Out Of Outtakes

One of the bigger news last year was that Minor Threat were going to release a new record. It is not a reunion record (luckily), and the songs aren’t new either. The songs you get on this 7” were rediscovered a coupled of years ago and they were recorded around the time when Minor Threat recorded their one and only LP, as the name Out Of Step Outtakes suggest. You get an instrumental track called “The Addams Family” and re-recorded versions of In My Eyes and Filler as a five piece.

                                         


Back cover and the flip side of the insert because everything related to Minor Threat rules. 



Right around the same time as I received the record, I also got this photo book by Glen E. Friedman, a photographer who witnessed the birth of skateboarding, hardcore and hip hop through his camera. The man has seen it all and more importantly, he also documented what he saw. Some of the pictures in the book were already known, some hadn’t been published before. Perfect combo with the 7”.
