Picture
100 Page Book: It's a companion book that follows about the same timeline as the DVD, but features almost no overlap. There's lot's of great stuff that's exclusive to book, like: Early songs written by the Stern Brothers, The meaning of the BYO logo, Letters to and from bands, Stories told by Jack Grisham of TSOL, Tony Montana/Reflex/Cadena/Adolescents of The Adolescents, and many more.

31 Song Soundtrack: It's probably the best Soundtrack you will ever see, 31 bands got together, and picked a song from the BYO catalog to cover. There's a huge variety of bands including: Youth Brigade, 7 Seconds, Pennywise, Dropkick Murphy's, The Briefs, CH3, The Subhumans(Canada), and Texas' own Lower Class Brats, and Krum Bums! It's available on Double 180 gram Vinyl, and CD.
Personal Favorites Are:

(Notable as being Jim Lindberg's last Recording with Pennywise)

CH3 - Scratches & Needles
(Originally by The Nils)

The Briefs - Who Is Who
(Originally by The Adolescents)

7 Seconds - Sink With California
(Originally by Youth Brigade)
The Documentary: Features a detailed history of Youth Brigade BYO, and the various mayhem and adventures of The Stern Brother and those who were there to witness it. The movie clocks in at about 90 minutes and features interviews with: The Briefs, 7 Seconds, Fat Mike of NOFX, Ian MacKaye, and many more!

Taken from the premiere at The Mink Review:

"It starts off telling of how the Youth Brigade first got into Punk, and follows them all the way through: starting Youth Brigade, Starting BYO, changing to The Brigade, Breaking up, Getting back together, and Re-Starting BYO. They went through a wide variety of side-topics: the problems between Punks and the Police, the increasing violence at Punk shows, and the increasing difficulty to play shows, and keep the scene alive. The movie can be serious, then hysterical 2 seconds later, and then serious again. There are lot's of great moments, and lot's of great quotes. One of the highlights is everybody looking back at the Another State Of Mind documentary(especially the how-to be in a pit section). Put short, Let Them Know is: detailed, entertaining, inspiring, and Punk..."

Bonus Features: They Include: Bloopers, A segment where they ask people what they think the BYO logo is, a Music Video, Ian Mackaye talking about recording Bad Brains & 7 Seconds, and lot's more great Punk Stories.
