Minor Threat - Minor Threat [1984]

First two 7"s on a 12", also known as the Minor Threat LP, was a combination of Americanhardcore punk group Minor Threat's first two EPs, Minor Threat (originally released June 1981) and In My Eyes (originally released December 1981). It had the same cover as their first release, it actually depicts MacKayes younger brother Alec (Untouchables, The Faith) . The image has been imitated by punk bands such as Rancid (…And Out Come the Wolves) and in the Major Threat ad campaign by Nike.
"Straight Edge", a song on the first EP, inadvertently inspired the straight edge movement. The song seemed to be a call for abstinence from drugs and alcohol—a new thing in the punk scene, which initially found a small, but dedicated following.
