Mad Butcher Records - 15 €

Major Accident was originally formed in late 1977 in Darlington. Their first studio recording came in the early 1980s. In 1983 the band's name had been shortened to "Accident". A live album, Tortured Tunes – the Official Bootleg, was released in 1984, reaching no. 24 on the Uk Independent Chart. Around this time the band appeared on BBC2 playing three songs live. American label Toxic Shock released a follow-up album ...Crazy! in 1985, just before the band split up.

Major Accident re-formed in 1996, once again using the full name rather than just "Accident". The re-formation was accompanied by a new studio album, The Ultimate High, originally released on We Bite Records and now promptly repressed by Mad Butcher proving the band was still strong after 10 years of inactivity.
