D: we bite records. 14 / 1987

#1 - US pressing with b&w cover. Test pressings with plain white, hand written labels. #2 - German version with black on yellow cover. First German pressing on yellow vinyl.

Mostly rough & tough hardcore, sometimes with a little crossover or death core influence. Sound is lousy on some tracks, but overall this is a great speedcore comp., especially since most tracks are exclusive demo or live versions. [7]  

Derbcore-Sampler; fast alle Tracks sind hart + schnell, die meisten echte ’Hard-Hitter’. Hauptsächlich unveröffentlichte Songs von Demo- und Livetapes, daher ist die Soundqualität zum Teil etwas abenteuerlich / dumpf. Manche Tracks stehen schon an der Schwelle zum Noisecore oder Crossover, aber trotzdem ist dies noch ein echter Hardcore-Sampler. Gut.
