Side A:

1.	BLACK ROSE - No Point Runnin'
	Great NWOBHM track with a bit of an early DEF LEPPARD feel. Different to both single and LP versions.

2.	BRANDS HATCH - Brands Hatch
	Killer song in the TYGERS OF PAN TANG style.

3.	BATTLEAXE - Burn This Town
	Nice driving rhythm, but kind of repetitive.

4.	SATAN - Oppression
	SATAN's very first release is an absolute killer. Later released on the 12 Commandments in Metal compilation.

5.	MARAUDER - Battlefield
	Decent but not very heavy 70s rock tinged track.

6.	UNTER DEN LINDEN - Wings Of Night
	Hints of indie rock make this song original and enjoyable but a bit out of place.

7.	SKITZOFRENIK - Exodus
	Very powerful and unique song with hardly any of the pop sound of their other material. The fade out at the end just leaves me wanting more.

Side B:

1.	BATTLEAXE - Battleaxe
	Typical of the band, this is good but generic.

2.	MARAUDER - Woman Of The Night
	Sounds a lot like LED ZEPPELIN's Trampled Under Foot.

3.	BLACK ROSE - Ridin' Higher
	Another great song, and a bit faster and heavier this time.

4.	UNTER DEN LINDEN - Man At The Bottom
	Even further removed from NWOBHM. Might have worked better with a more powerful vocalist.

5.	SKITZOFRENIK - Keep Right On
	The piano adds more of a radio friendly sound, but still a great energetic song that should appeal to most NWOBHM fans.

6.	SATAN - The Executioner
	Both SATAN tracks are excellent in a similar style and quality to their Kiss of Death single. Along with the 7" they are the only released tracks with vocalist Trev Robinson.

7.	BRANDS HATCH - No Return
	Great vocals and more melodic than their first offering.
