MINUTEMEN - 'Corndogs' (1985)
This infamous 'Corndogs' video is here!!!! Thanx to the great work of Jeff Saunders and others we are proud to present you with these files!
The legend of this video goes back to 1985 when SST had planned to release this as a video. I remember getting the SST catalog and calling immediately to order it only to be told it had been delayed. Well, supposedly what happened was that the master tape was stolen out of the van that was taking it to the duplication plant. It was the only copy! So it was never released. The copies that have been floating around are cheap dubs that were made at the time. You'll notice the time code on the videos. There are a few time gaps in the video and the quality seems to be about 20th generation, but you'll still love these clips. If you have a better copy you'd care to donate that would be very swell! ;) Anyways, enjoy! Many many thanx to all who have helped make this possible.
