Now a real rarity and an awesome release, and this 7Inch is part of the First Six Dischord Records box set which came out last year and this is the surprise single with five unreleased songs by the Slinkees which were recorded on cassette by Andy Nelson in Jeff’s parents’ basement in Washington, DC on 21.August 1979. The Slinkees consisted of Mark (vocals), Geordie (guitar), Ian (bass) and Jeff (drums) and it comes in a collage-style sleeve featuring the cereal mascot Cap’n Crunch and includes an insert adorned with photos and a lengthy written history of the band. The band played one single show, in a friend's garage, before vocalist Mark exited for college. The remaining members regrouped as The Teen Idles with new singer Nathan and made one cool 7Inch, Minor Disturbance, as well. The spirit of the late Seventies Punk explosion can be heard clearly, authentic & charming and the sound quality is absolutely sufficient. Music how I love it and I wish, more treasures like this were dug up. Apparently the box set is no longer officially available and if you want a copy you have to dig deep into your pocket.
