'Everything Went Black' is a compilation album by American hardcore punk legends Black Flag, released in 1982 by SST Records.
When 'Everything Went Black' was first released in 1983, Black Flag were in the middle of a backbreaking legal dispute with Unicorn Records. As a result of litigation, the band were prevented from using the Black Flag name on any records. Hence the original packaging for this album, which listed only the names of individual band members on the cover (this was rectified on subsequent issues). The compilation comprises early songs recorded before Henry Rollins became the band's vocalist in 1981. 3 sides of the vinyl are divided between the 3 previous vocalists Keith Morris, Ron Reyes and Dez Cadena. Side 4 features some great late 70's radio advertisements for Black Flag shows. Includes plenty of classic hardcore punk anthems such as 'Police Story', 'Gimmie Gimmie Gimmie', 'Depression' and 'Jealous Again'.
