Major Accident was the best

"Out of all the UK77-82 Era punk bands that made themselves famous in England in the early 80s, Major Accident stands out to me as the best of that entire era, alongside The Business. There were many good bands, be them Oi! bands like Last Resort, Blitz, or the 4-Skins, and many of them were punk, such as One Way System, Vice Squad, or Special Duties, but they all played a style of music directed at working class street kids. Major Accident's songs, compared to many of the rest, had a more musical touch than many other bands. It was just noise on bad recordings, the band wrote creative, catchy tunes but still stayed true to the sounds of Streetpunk without going down the path of "New Wave." These two albums on one disc are a fine starter collection for anyone interested in hearing some of Major Accident's work. Some of their best songs are on these two albums, including Mr. Nobody, Terrorist Gang, Leaders of Tomorrow, Respectable, and Scizophrenic. A must have for any fan of early British punk rock."
