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.

Stations Of The Crass is the second album by Crass, released at a time when right-wing National Front leaders and working class Oi! bands were using punk rock as a medium for their xenophobic message. Originally pressed as a double 12 inch in 1979, the record includes live tracks from a gig recorded at the Pied Bull pub in Islington, London on August 7, 1979. Crass countered the trend with seething rage, wicked wit, and a potent musical attack that spurned punk's pub-rock origins for harder and faster chaos. The follow up to The Feeding Of The 5000, this offering finds them delivering furious anti-capitalist sentiments on a bed of guitar and bass designed to deliver an uncompromising message.
