DOA "Don't Turn Yer Back (on Desperate Times)" 12"

This was the next 12" to come out by DOA. Alternative Tentacles put it out in late 1984 and Tim Yohannon of MRR described the release as "Four tracks, a couple of which have appeared elsewhere, but these versions done a year ago really burn. "Race Riot" is in the vein of Hardcore 81, while "A Season in Hell" and "Burn it Down" also cook. "General Strike," which appeared on DOA's "limited edition" 45, is the most "rock " of all tracks, but its sentiments, along with all the other cuts, are DOA at their political best." (from Maximum Rocknroll #23, March 1985). The songs found on this release were:

1.General Strike
2. Race Riot
3. A Season In Hell
4. Burn It Down
