It’s a miracle the vinyl still holds togheter. One of my top 10 US Hardcore records ever. One weak spot: Sheer Terror. John Stabb deserves as much credits as Ian McKay. To fuck with the “real” punks he dresed up in hippy shirts and the likes. That IS punk rock. Buy all the reissues from Dr. Strange cause they deserve it!

better than the songs found on this 7”. Not that this is bad, I just prefer their earlier material. And of course their three tracks of Flex Your Head are up their with the almighty Void. FoY would go on to put out a number of great records includingseveralof Government Issue’s, Black Market Baby, Braille Party, & the wonderful Bouncing Babies comp.

Government Issue is one of my favorites from back in the day too. I have this on vinyl but it’s in a box somewhere and I don’t have a turntable. Thanks!
man. john stabb …a true visionary. sure… he came off dippy with his “punkness” in a town of “tighty whiteys” (read: dischord flunkies) … the rock spirit is there. thanks STABB.

yea, very good indeed, must say i like “sheer terror”though.(incidently i also like the ny band SHEER TERROR, but that’s another story). this record manages to sound both very punk and very hardcore, gosh!
Does anyone know anything about the labels on the 1st Dischord vinyl pressing being switched? I have a copy and the labels are reversed…just wondering if it’s on all of them. Thanks.
