Guitarist Wolf Hoffmann later remembered the debut as simply a collection o sangs the baund haed wirkit up ower the baund's formative years, wi nae real focus for the baund as o yet: "We were just playing songs that we had always played. It was material that had gathered up over the first few months and years of our existence and it was a mixture of all kinds of stuff." He recaws it sellin aroond 3,000 copies an aw. Lead vocalist Udo Dirkschneider expressed dissatisfaction wi the group's first effort leukin back on it: "Naturally, it was very exciting for us the first time we entered a recording studio but also disappointing at the same time." Accept wad gain better production values an a mair cohesive direction on futur releases, but the debut wis an important early step that gained them the ability tae play the neebourin kintras o Belgium, Netherlands an Fraunce for the first time.
