Somewhat legendary demo featuring the short-lived five-piece lineup of Henry Rollins, Greg Ginn, Chuck Dukowski, Dez Cadena, and Chuck Biscuits. These sessions were in 1982 although the art work says 1983.
While embroiled in a bitter lawsuit with Unicorn Records that cost a countless and overwhelming amount of hours and dollars, the label slapped an injunction against the band, preventing them from recording and releasing under the name Black Flag.
Under clear threat of law, in 1982, following the release of the landmark album Damaged, Black Flag snuck into the studio to record songs that would ultimately compose both the My War and Slip It In records. These are the only recordings the band made with possibly their strongest lineup. Also included are two songs that never made it past this demo, "What Can You Believe" & "Yes I Know".
one reviewer states:
These versions are far more vital and uncontainable than those that would ultimately end up on the official SST releases. Cadena's visceral rhythm is the perfect counterpoint to Ginn's damaging, stinging, cascading leads, while Biscuits' drumming paired with Dukowski's muscular bass is a more feral Phil Rudd-Cliff Williams combo. Though only a bootleg, this is the most visceral and brutal set of Black Flag recordings available.
