Black Flag, Extended Plays.

Nervous Breakdown, 1978
Black Flag's first release. An important seven inch, this record got a lot of kids to go out and start their own bands. Four tracks in just over five minutes. There wasn't much like it back then. The only proper release to feature founding vocalist Keith Morris. The rest of his recorded work with the band can be found on the compilation Everything Went Black.

Jealous Again, 1980
Following up Nervous Breakdown, the band released Jealous Again in 1980. Recorded with second vocalist Ron Reyes but released after his unamicable split, Ron was miscredited on the release as "Chavo Pederast". The record also includes an attack on former singer Keith Morris "You Bet We've Got Something Personal Against You", a re-working of the song "I Don't Care", this time sung by bassist Chuck Dukoski.

Louie Louie (single), 1981
With only two tracks, this record is technically only a single, but it is roughly the same length as the other Black Flag EPs. Side one is the bands take on the much covered "Louie Louie", with a version of "Damaged I" on side two.

Six Pack, 1981
Featuring the third singer, Dez Cadena, Six Pack features three songs from attempt to record the Damaged LP with Dez. The title track would be re-recorded for the LP, but the other two tracks remain exclusive to this release.

T.V. Party, 1982
The title track is a re-recording of a track from the bands first LP, Damaged. Recorded in 1982, this EP features Henry Rollins on vocals and also includes two additional tracks, "I've Got To Run" and "My Rules".

The First Four Years, 1983
This album combines the five releases listed above as well as a few compilation tracks, releasing all the EPs as an LP. A convenient way to get all the early material on one CD.

The Process of Weeding Out, 1985
Recorded in 1985, this instrumental album is only four songs long. However, at almost 27 minutes long it is long enough to be considered a full album. Essential for fans of Greg Ginn's instrumental guitar work.

Annihilate This Week, 1987
The songs from Who's Got The 10 1/2, these three songs were only issued on the CD version of that live album. Not really essential if you pick up the full live album.

I Can See You, 1989
Four songs recorded during the In My Head sessions, three of the songs would be included on the CD reissue of In My Head. "Kickin & Stickin", a improvised jam song, would be reworked for Greg Ginn's project with Mike Vallely, Good For You.
