Minor Threat 1981-08

I’ve found a version of Minor Threat’s “Guilty of Being White” that is not a known released or demo version. I have yet to be able to determine its origin. It sounds as if it was recorded in a studio, but it is not the version released on the old album, nor on the more recent “First Demo Tape” album.

Listen in the second verse for (at 0:31) where there is a distinct pause before “me” not found in any other known version.

Also note he says (at 0:56) instead of “18 years,” as on some older performances of this song.
