From the record insert:
"Three or four months after forming, Minor Threat went into Inner Ear Studios to record their first demo tape. Joining them were their friends Henry and Skip. The studio was located in the basement of Don Zientara's small house in Arlington, Virginia. The band set up and played in his kids' playroom while Don ran the 4-track tapedeck in the adjacent boiler room. Judging by the photos, the band had a great time, but for reasons now forgotten (songs too slow? not tight enough?) they decided to return to Inner Ear about a month later to record a second tape, which was released in June 1981 as Dischord No. 3."
