mystic/ghetto-way records. gto 33001 / 16 tracks / 1983

2005 CD rerelease along with the Scared Straight LP with a new sleeve and two bonus tracks: Agression - Rich Kids, Weekertin Daze - You're Mad.

Classic South California compilation, one of the best records on Mystic. Music ranges from fast hardcore to slower, more melodic stuff, but all the tracks are noisy, rough and powerful. Reign of Terror and Undercity Kings are somewhat weaker than the other bands, but there are no real letdowns here. Essential for old school hardcore fans. [8]

Toller Sampler, aufgenommen zur Blütezeit des südkalifornischen Hardcore in bestem Mystic-Schrott-Stereo - trotzdem eine der besten Platten des Labels. Die Musik reicht von schnellem Hardcore bis zu langsameren, melodischeren Songs, aber alle Tracks sind krachig, roh und kraftvoll. Reign of Terror und Undercity Kings fallen als einzige ein bisschen ab, ansonsten erste Sahne.

Tracks: Dr Know - boy's life / Crank Shaft - army of the dead / Rigor Mortis - in the trenches / Flower Leperds - preachers confession / The G.R.I.M. - old towne mall / Mox Nix - vicious cycle / America's Hardcore - born prejudice / Ill Repute - strike back / Flower Leperds - death of two lovers / False Confessions - prophesy / Slaughterhouse 5 - 2nd generation / Dr. Know - in that house / Reign of Terror - violent children / Crank Shaft - there's somone in the cellar / Circle One - going against the grain / Undercity Kings - undercity kings
