+ lyric sheet. counterfeit (500 made) has a black label on side B. Also rereleased on The Way it Was bootleg LP. Victory reissue adds the track from PEACE compilation (Time Will Tell), sleeve is yellow instead of b&w.

Fast & thrashy HC with a powerful NY edge, quite simple, though. Not too special apart from the fact that they played the right music at the right time. A minor classic (especially compared to the true heavyweights of the NY scene), there were better bands around then. [6]

Schneller, krachiger und holpriger HC, für 1983 aber nichts Besonderes. Eine wuchtige NYHC-Kante ist schon dabei, ansonsten gibt mir das Ding nicht viel. Um diese Platte würde sicher nicht so viel Wind gemacht, wären CFA nicht nachträglich von anderen NY-Bands in den Himmel gehypt worden.
