EDIT: (Second) Earliest known Ministry Photo

Discussion
1

L-R: Paul Taylor, John “JD” Davis, Stephen George, Audrey Stanzler, Robert Roberts, Al Jourgensen

Taken at the Space Place Rehearsal studio, December '81.

EDIT: After seeing the photo from the “Goldmine” story that bisquitodoom posted, I’m downgrading this image to 2nd earliest. The photo in Goldmine predates this photo by at least a month.

Thanks to Ken Mierzwa.

Looks like someone forgot to open their eyes.
I like Al’s Dr. Who scarf.

Mr. Davis looks ready to flash the camera. Suacy Al’s tight rolled pants are red hot!

Maybe Al had me in some kind of Vulcan nerve pinch. That would explain a lot.

Sorry i got the date wrong:
Apparently live pictures taken March 12th or 13th, 1982?
Wempathy?

I smell a reunion!

Hey, here’s something I’ve been wondering for awhile: Do any pictures exist in connection to the Carmichaels? Photos or artwork or anything?

12

OMG!!

13

Who’s the chick?
It sure ain’t Shay Jones.

EDIT: I guess it’s Audrey Stanzler, as mentioned in the first pic. What songs did she sing on?

14

I’m curious about that as well, Wempathy…what did she do originally?

15

dude… check out her old pic of Groovie…

I think that Audrey only sang the first couple of shows, so March couldn’t be correct. When we took of for a couple of shows with Medium Medium, the band was already pared down to only 4…JD, Stevo, Al and me. That was in February I think.

Audrey would have sang backup on all songs I guess, though I don’t recall the entire setlist of the first show. I’m pretty sure that the photos of her up front with Al was when we did a cover of a funk song called “First True Love Affair” by Jimmy Ross.
