I’m a fan of Minor Threat and I’d love the way they sound if it weren’t for those recordings that sound so tinny. I purchaced their entire discography on one cd. They all sound this way. In my car, I have to turn the treble down and the bass up in order to make the bass guitar barely audible. Are there any other recordings of this band or possibly covers that sound less this way and perhaps fuller?
Many years back, I had a concert video of theirs. I don’t think it was ever offically released – but I recently saw a clip from it on some VH1 show about …whatever it was about. 80s rock or punk or something.
Anyway, you may find this on ebay or somewhere like that – IIRC the sound was pretty good.
I have never heard of any alternate recordings – the ones you have on the discography CD are the only ones I’ve ever seen/heard of.
Nope. Your out of luck. I think the discography sounds very raw and is really the only MT disc worth buying because it has all of there best and worst songs on. I have been known to copy old hardcore (DK, BR, BF, MT) to my computer and eq the bass up, burn it back onto a CD and listen to it that way.
I know what you mean though. Once you get used to the new prod values on even the shittiest metal CD’s it is hard to listen to old school on your pounding system in your car.
Guilty of Being White is one of the greatest and ballziest songs ever put to vinyl. Goddamn I love that song. Even the Slayer cover is awsome.
Old school 7 Seconds fall prey to this phenomenon, too. 
Most old school bands are like this, with the possible exception of the Misfits, who seemed to have some decent recordings out the door, though their collection (in a cool little coffin) does have some of the more poor recordings available for listening displeasure.
You can buy the concert video right here.
I recommend it.
Slayer has also done excellent covers of Filler and I Don’t Wanna Hear It.
