CommentThe Complete 1982 Demos Plus More is a bootleg album, released in 1996 according to most Internet sources, containing songs from two different Black Flag recording sessions.

Album history

In 1982, legally restricted from releasing new records, Black Flag secretly recorded a demo, mainly consisting of songs that would later be used on their albums My War and Slip It In. Tracks 1-10 were taken from these sessions, although some sources indicate that these 10 selections are not in fact the "complete 1982 demos."

The 1982 demo sessions are notable for being the only recorded Black Flag material featuring Chuck Biscuits on drums (his tenure in the band was fairly short-lived). Some Black Flag fans cite this lineup as the best in the band's history, and some consider these recordings to be among the band's best. Due to the secretive nature of the sessions, these demos have also developed a somewhat legendary reputation in punk circles. Also notable is the inclusion of "What Can You Believe" and "Yes, I Know," songs which did not appear on any official Black Flag releases in any form.

Personnel:

Henry Rollins - lead vocals
Greg Ginn - lead guitar
Dez Cadena - rhythm guitar
Chuck Dukowski - bass
