RR-42568: Accused/Rejectors split 12"

OK, so it's not a Poison Idea record, but I thought it would be cool to include this here since it was originally slated to be Fatal Erection #1. Malcolm still ended up putting it out, but I'm not sure why there's no label name on the record. This is the first release for the Accused, before they had Blaine Cook singing in the band. No metal influences yet, just pretty straightforward meat 'n potatoes '83 hardcore. I actually prefer the Rejectors side, which is not much different to the Accused, but packs more of a punch. Check out their Thoughts Of War 7" if you haven't already.

TEST PRESS - unknown amount

Plain white labels and generic sleeve. I got this out of the collection of Ruth Schwartz of Maximumrocknroll/Mordam fame when she sold everything off a few years back. Included with the record was a hand written letter/promo sheet from Malcolm, pictured below (side note: when was the last time an LP was $3.50 wholesale??). Based on the letter, there have to be at least 3 copies of this record, since he mentions two being sent to Ruth and I can safely assume he kept at least one for his personal stash.

FIRST PRESS - 1000 black vinyl

Nothing too exciting to report here. There's no info on the jacket, though there's a 2-sided insert with one side for each band. Sleeve opens at the top for some reason.
