Midnight Mover
Midnight Mover is an EP by Accept, released in 1985 on the Portrait label. It was issued in the UK and Europe in the same year.
It arrived in the middle of a busy stretch for the band. Balls to the Wall came out in 1983, and Metal Heart followed in 1985, with Russian Roulette arriving the year after. As a short release from that run, it is one for listeners who want to follow the band's mid-eighties story beyond the full-length albums.
