Here's some demos from MINOR THREAT. These ain't the same ones that wound up on the 7", so I have no clue what the source for these could be. Perhaps it's a rehearsal recording? I imagine the first few songs are, after "Guilty Of Being White" it seems like a different session, perhaps that one is in a studio? I'll edit in any info I can find, and a tracklist, for now just play it loud and enjoy. - DH
Here's a real cool tape, fresh with a 2023 transfer! While th tape says NJ on it, and I originally uploaded it with that info, my buddy and punk historian and walking show encyclopedia Eric figured out pretty quick that this was actually from their New York City show. So now that all that is sorted, just crank it and jam it in the earholes already, because you know this set is fire. - DH

Excited to be editing this post with a fresh 2023 transfer of this wicked MINOR THREAT set from Dancing Waters, in San Pedro, CA. This was taped off the soundboard by a clearly very intelligent man named Chris O'Connor, who sent it in to MRR, and where it wound up in the hands of MRR volunteer and tape collector Chris Dodge. So yeah, killer soundboard of a killer set, I'm glad this sound up seeing the light of day for everyone to hear finally. Hopefully the new transfer sounds better, mainly I'm just re-ripping tapes to keep a better master digital copy, figure I might as well make a new vid to post while I'm at it. Hope ya dig the tape, and we should all thank the Chris's involved. - DH
