no label. rr-42568 / 27 tracks / 1983

1000 (?) made. + lyric sheet.

Accused - still with their first, pre-Blaine singer John Dahlin - play rather boring standard/3-chord HC on their side of this split LP, the sound quality is pretty poor, too. The Rejectors are a bit better (music and production), and have a somewhat more energetic and powerful sound. I know this should be a classic, being The Accused’s first release and all, but, well, it isn’t. [checked it out again and I suppose some old school HC fans will probably like it despite the muddy sound and repetitive song structures - it’s not THAT bad really] [6]

Accused (hier noch ohne Blaine von den Fartz) mit ge­wöhnlichem Keller-HC, 3 Akkorde und ab & zu eine Schrubbelpassage; dazu ein ziemlich dumpfer Sound. Rejectors sind besser, im Sound und in der Musik, bei der wenigstens eine Spur von Energie rüber­kommt. Insgesamt eine eher langweilige Platte ohne Höhe­punkte.
