Complete History Volume One
Complete History Volume One is a compilation album by the Washington, D.C. hardcore punk band Government Issue, compiling the band's recordings from 1982 to 1985. It was released March 28, 2000 through Dr. Strange Records, with a companion album, Complete History Volume Two, released in 2002. Together, the two Complete History albums collect nearly all of the band's recorded output. Volume One intentionally omits the 1981 Legless Bull EP and the tracks "Hey Ronnie" and "Lie, Cheat, and Steal" released on the Flex Your Head compilation, as both of these releases are still in print through Dischord Records.
