Label GB

Anarcho-punk band *Crass* formed in 1977 in North Weald, Essex, United Kingdom. They disbanded in 1984 but left a lasting impact on the punk scene. With members including Steve Ignorant, Eve Libertine (aka Bronwen Jones), Joy de Vivre, N.A. Palmer, Phil Free, Pete Wright, Penny Rimbaud and Gee Vaucher handling vocals, guitars, bass, drums and visuals respectively.
Crass founded their own record label called Crass Records in 1979. Their music was characterized by its political and anti-establishment lyrics that challenged societal norms and conventions.
Similar artists to Crass include Conflict, Subhumans, Flux of Pink Indians, Zounds and many more who were also part of the anarcho-punk movement.

Anarcho-punk label from Essex, UK founded by Crass in 1979. The catalogue numbers of Crass Records releases were intended to represent a countdown to the year 1984 (e.g., 521984 meaning "five years until 1984"). Multiple releases in a given year would be indicated by a slash followed by a number (e.g. 321984/2 = second release of 1981).
In 1984, releases had catalogue numbers of format 1984(/x). In 1985, the catalogue numbers were changed to a standardised system (Cat. No. x).
Closed down in 1992, restarted in 2019.

Punks pioneers Crass bring to head their ambitious ‘The Feeding of the Five Thousand Remix Project’ in January with Normal Never Was - Revelations - The Remix Compilation, a collection of some of the stand-out remixes following their single series including 65daysofstatic, Jack Matthew Tyson and much more...

In 2019 Crass took the step of making the original separate track stems of their seminal debut album ‘The Feeding of the Five Thousand’ available as a free download. With a call to take the original sixteen track recording in its pre-mix state, the intent was for people to create their own remixes and interpretations and breathe fresh life and ideas into this revolutionary music.

By the beginning of 2021, over two hundred remix tracks had been forwarded to OLI and the number was growing daily. It was at this point that it was decided that a double CD release should be made from a selection of the available tracks, each CD having the same running order as Crass’ original album. That was the easy part, but putting it together was altogether a different matter. The selection committee, made up of Rimbaud and Steve Ignorant of Crass, took several months juggling the impossible. Some of the tracks had scores of remixes to choose from, whereas others had as few as three, but eventually the job was done, and ‘Revelations’ came into being as an addition to the ‘Normal Never Was’ project and its commitment to Refuge.
