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.

Feeding Of The 5000 is number one in the revisited Crassical Collection, remastered by Alex Gordon and Penny Rimbaud at Abbey Road Studios in 2018. This double CD presentation contains the remastered original Crass album on CD1 and, on CD2, early rehearsal tapes and studio recordings, plus a fold-out poster of the original cover and an illustrated booklet containing lyrics and contextual notes.

One of the most important albums ever. It doesn't get better, angrier and original. First released in 1978 on Small Wonder Records, and later re-released on the band's own Crass Records, The Feeding of the Five Thousand showed Crass as an anti-establishment and highly uncompromising act, and one that would influence countless people, bands and activists. The record came to be made when Pete Stennett, owner of Small Wonder Records, heard a demo that the band had recorded. Impressed by all of the material, he decided that rather than release a conventional single by the band, he would put all of their set onto an 18 track 12 inch EP.
