# 19 - Fact - As a matter of fact

Fact – As a matter of fact – 1984

Sounding like a raw version of Accept, this is was UDO could have ment when he mentioned a „kick in the face“ in 1991 ;) Well, anyway, this band, hailing from lower saxony, is not any closer related to Accept. I'm not absolutely sure, how popular this band really is, but it is definetly underrated.

This was a close decision, the second album „Without Warning“ is a great release, too. I don't think there is any weak track on one of their releases, but in the end my absolute favorite song, „Make it real“, made the decision real.

Even you may have read yesterday, that I'm a big fan of good ole garage sound, I can assure you, that the sound on vinyl is 5 times better & clearer, than in the full length album on youtube. But it is garage-style nevertheless. A collegue called it bullshit-production, so whatever. :D
My favorite song is available in a little better quality, so I posted it here, too.

This album was rereleased on CD in 1994 by Mausoleum, and again together with the second full-length in 2011. The LPs are no rarities, sometimes available in record stores (at least in Germany), but I've seen them regularly on German ebay, too.
