London Leatherboys
London Leatherboys is an EP by Accept, released on 25 August 1985 through Portrait. It arrived in the same year as the band's sixth studio album, Metal Heart, so it belongs to a busy stretch in the mid-1980s, when the group had already built a run of records that began with their self-titled debut in 1979 and took in Restless and Wild and Balls to the Wall.
As a short release, it works best as a side note to that period rather than a starting point. If you already know Metal Heart and want a little more from Accept at that moment in their story, this is the sort of extra item worth tracking down. Their next studio album, Russian Roulette, followed in 1986.
