23 is FLAG of DEMOCRACY's second full-length record. The first with their "new" drummer Bob who joined in 1987. Originally released in 1988 on New Jersey's now defunct Buy Our Records, 23 is a strange mix of even faster and thrashier tunes than seen on Shatter Your Day, but even if it seems impossible, more melodic songs. This expanded CD version contains a live radio set in California from 1988 and the other two Five Bands That Have Changed The World comp tracks, all remastered by James Plotkin. The original artwork has been replaced by the art used for the promotional poster for the 1988 release.
