Black Flag - Nervous Breakdown EP

Photobucket

Nervous Breakdown was Black Flag's first 7" EP. It was released in 1978 on SST Records.The recording was originally supposed to come out on Bomp! Records, but the band felt that the label was taking too long to put the record out. Eventually the band took the master rights back, and Ginn put some more earnings from his ham radio business, located a pressing plant in the phone book, and co-founded SST Records with Black Flag bassist Chuck Dukowski, borrowing the label's name for his new label.They only realeased 300 copies of the original press. Black Flag were able to use the record as "a badge of legitimacy" to begin getting live gigs in the Los Angeles area.
