MINOR THREAT - OUT OF STEP OUT TAKES

In January 1983, Minor Threat booked their first studio session as a five-piece band, with Brian Baker switching to second guitar and Steve Hansgen picking up bass, at Inner Ear Studio. In addition to recording six new songs that would become Out of Step, Minor Threat re-recorded 1981’s “In My Eyes” and “Filler” with two guitars. They also tracked an instrumental number called “Addams Family.” The latter was used as a coda to vinyl-only bonus track “Cashing In,” but the others were, according to the Out of Step Outtakes pre-order description, “never mixed and largely forgotten for over 35 years until the multitrack tapes were taken into the studio to be digitized in 2021.” PITCHFORK
