Description
I'm selling my copy of the second pressing of Minor Threat's great hardcore punk LP Out of Step on Dischord Records (No. 10) from 1983. Both the vinyl and cover are in very good shape. Vinyl plays fine and it still sounds awesome after all these years. The cover has some wear around the corners but all in all is in very good shape.

Background
After a temporary break-up in 1982, Minor Threat entered Inner Ear Studios in January 1983 to record Out of Step. Recording duties were handled by Don Zientara. While the lyrics on their early EPs were an outlet for MacKaye's message, the lyrics on Out of Step deal mainly with friendships and problems associated with them. The first pressing vinyl version of the album (with plain black cover) is contained on the Complete Discography compilation. After the first pressing, the band remixed the album, which remained in print on vinyl into the 2000s. The most notable difference is that the guitar on the bridge and MacKaye's scream at the end of "Out of Step" are added to the remix. The remixed vinyl is distinguishable by a colored stripe with suggested retail price across the front, and "Dischord 10 UK" and "Utopia" in the dead wax. In the mid-2000s, the album was remastered on vinyl by Chicago Mastering Service, with no stripe.
