Black Flag - Nervous Breakdown EP

This was the first EP by the LA Punk band Black Flag. It was the only album recorded with vocalist Keith Morris and drummer Brian Migdol. Both left by 1979, Morris formed his own band, the Circle Jerks. Little is known about what happened to Migdol, but it is known he played in a country rock band in the 90's. The EP was the first release on the newly formed SST Records, it was originally meant to come out on Bomp! Records but the band felt it was taking too long for it to be released, so they took the masters and the EP was released in October 1978. 200 copies were orignally pressed with a different cover than the one above (Black on white) another version of the EP was red on white. The entire EP can be found on The First Four Years. Its a great introduction to Black Flag, belive me Henry Rollins' Black Flag is more for the Hardcore fans.
