REISSUED ON VINYL!!! Flex Your Head was first released in January 1982 and was the first full-length album released by Dischord Records. The compilation features thirty-two songs by 11 DC area bands and went a long way towards “putting DC on the map” as one of the era’s great punk scenes. This new edition, which has been re-cut features a cover image of the DC Flag stars and bars (on a red field), an image so associated with DC punk that many mistake it for a made-up symbol for straight edge. This cover image was also used (on a black field) for an edition of the album briefly pressed in conjunction with Alternative Tentacles in the ‘80s. Tracks from MINOR THREAT, TEEN IDLES, SOA, G.I., YOUTH BRIGADE, VOID, IRON CROSS, ARTIFICIAL PEACE, and more. LP includes a free MP3 download coupon,
