The rich analog grooves effortlessly unleash the full, visceral separation of D. Boon's biting, treble-heavy guitar lines and Mike Watt's driving, tree-trunk bass acrobatics—unleashing an iconic 18-track barrage featuring timeless underground anthems like \"The Punch Line,\" \"Sell or Be Sold,\" and \"Bob Dylan Wrote Propaganda Songs.\" Backed by George Hurley's flawless, jazz-snapping percussion, every hyper-short track punches through your speakers with stunning live-room urgency. Complete with its legendary Raymond Pettibon cover art, this beautifully preserved original LP is an absolute, non-negotiable crown jewel for any serious 80s punk archivist or indie vinyl collector.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1983 US release by SST Records, catalog SST-014.  First pressing with brown front cover with \"Minutemen\" in white, yellow artwork, no barcode, track B7 misspelled on the label.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSleeve grades VG+.  \u003c\/strong\u003eSharp corners with a few dings, a couple light crease marks, some ring wear, strong intact spine\/seams, minimal edgewear.  Original SST catalog insert included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVinyl grades VG.  \u003c\/strong\u003ePlays through crisp and clear but there are a few moments of static\/crackle.  Pretty clean vinyl with some light surface marks and hairlines.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CS5 Vinyl and Memorabilia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47251018121347,"sku":null,"price":59.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/3553\/6003\/files\/WIN_20260604_16_14_21_Pro.jpg?v=1780607865","url":"https:\/\/cs5music.com\/products\/minutemen-what-makes-a-man-start-fires-1983-us-1st-press-vg-vg","provider":"CS5 Vinyl and Memorabilia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
