After nearly 2 years of collecting photos and uncovering old tapes the "20 Years of Dischord" Box Set came out in October. The box set includes 2 cds of one track by every band to have recorded on Dischord, and a third disc with rare and unreleased material. A 134-page color booklet accompanies the cds and has an essay and photograph for each band.
Three compact discs. This compilation chronicles the first 20 years of Dischord. First 2 discs feature one track by eve ry Dischord band, third disc features unreleased material. The 20 Years of Dischord release is an overview of the label's output from 1980 until 2000. Originally intended to mark Dischord's twentieth anniversary (Dec. 2000), the project took on a life on it's own and has ended up taking over two years to finish. This is partly due to Dischord's "it will get done when it's done" approach as well as the label's tendency to put it's immediate energy into current active bands as opposed to historical projects.

Following on from this, Dischord put out the S.O.A "No Policy" EP and more singles followed from Minor Threat, Government Issue, and Youth Brigade. By 1982 Dischord had put out its first full length, the Flex Your Head compilation album and the label's operations had been moved across the river to Arlington, Virginia into an old green house they shared with three others, which was subsequently dubbed Dischord House. Not knowing how long they would stay, they kept Ian's parents house on Be....... more
