neglect records. nr-001 / 12 tracks / 1982

+ lyric sheet. 1000 made. Both 12”s reissued on a CD called “1982-1984” (Neglect, 2003), plus 6 bonus tracks.

Debut 12” by this criminally overlooked band from Minnesota. Great rough & melodic hardcore with a powerful Steve Fjelstad production, so there is definitely a Minneapolis/Hüsker edge, but Willful Neglect were innovators all of their own (check out the release date!). Excellent. (VB/bj) [8]  

Genau wie die zweite 12” von Steve Fjelstad produziert, hat auch schon genau die gleichen Qualitäten wie ’Justice for No One’. Sehr flotter, melodiöser HC; etwas rauher als die zweite, aber nicht minder genial! (VB)

Tracks: e.m.s. & die / good clean fun / outa my mind / banned / abort the mission / rebel / gash abuse / 5 nice guys / geeks / herpes (will i get) / willful neglectors / criminals
