Limp Records was an independent record label in Rockville, Maryland, founded in 1978 and ran by Skip Groff[1] out of his Yesterday and Today Records store. Limp was one of the first labels releasing music from the nascent D.C. punk scene. The label's more notable output includes the first Bad Brains release (a song on The Best of Limp (…Rest of Limp)),[2] the second Minor Threat record (a split release with Dischord),[3] and the first record by Black Market Baby. The label's first release was the Slickee Boys second EP.[4]
Much like Stiff Records had Devo's "Be Stiff," a song entitled "Stay Limp" by the Raisinets was included on Limp's :30 Over DC compilation.
