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.

Number six in the revisited double CD Crassical Collection, is a double CD presentation containing the 2019 Abbey Road Studios remastered original Crass album on CD1 and, on CD2, additional unrelated tracks showcasing the voice of Eve Libertine, plus a fold-out poster and an illustrated booklet containing lyrics and contextual notes.

Recorded at Southern studios winter 1984 - summer 1985. Ten Notes on a Summer's Day nudged itself towards modern european atonality, and knocked Crass completely out of the rock'n'roll arena (as testified to by dramatically reduced record sales). In this sense, Ten Notes on a Summer's Day truly was a swansong.
