#1 - Original pressing on Modern Method. First pressing with light blue labels, second pressing with yellow labels. Both have a printed inner sleeve. #2 - CD reissue, adds Unsafe at any Speed tracks. This is not a bootleg (had that wrong earlier, sorry). #3 - Euro bootleg with b&w sleeve, adds Unsafe at any Speed tracks. #4 - Discogs lists this second bootleg with color sleeve; haven’t seen it yet but apparently it has a darker blue tint on the cover, no printed inner sleeve and different labels.

Boston’s answer to DC’s Flex Your Head. Mostly fast & brutal hardcore, best are Gang Green (ultrafast & wild, their best tracks by far) and The Freeze (diverse & powerful hardcore), but the songs by Jerry's Kids, Proletariat or FU's are great, too. A classic. [9]

Sampler-Klassiker, ungefähr das Bostoner Gegenstück zu Flex your Head aus DC. Haufenweise geniale Tracks von Szenegrößen wie Jerry’s Kids, Proletariat, FUs, Gang Green und The Freeze; durchweg schneller, brutaler Boston-HC, Gewinner sind für mich Gang Green (wegen der Geschwindigkeit, auch ansonsten ihre besten Tracks) und The Freeze (gut gemachter HC mit viel Abwechslung), aber auch die anderen Bands bieten Außergewöhnliches. Pflichtteil.
