FAQ

Is this the original pressing?
Yes. The first edition was released in Germany in 1988 on clear vinyl and limited to 2,000 copies. Later editions include a CD (paired with The Conviction) and a 2016 Greek vinyl reissue.

What does Media VG+ / Cover VG+ mean?
VG+ (Very Good Plus) means light signs of use that barely affect playback or overall appearance. It applies to both record and sleeve. All grades are explained on our Vinyl Grading page.

Why does it play at 45 RPM?
Experimental Errors is a mini-album of about 26 minutes. At 45 RPM the groove passes the stylus faster. This usually allows a louder, more detailed cut at the cost of playing time per side, which hardly matters for a mini-album.

Do you have more Accuser records?
This is currently our only Accuser record. More thrash and heavy metal titles are in our Metal collection.
