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.

Originally recorded in 1982 in Crass’ rehearsal studio at Dial House, Christ Alive documents the ofttimes gruelling process behind the making of a song. Given the exacting nature of Crass’ finished works, it’s illuminating to hear them battling out results that eventually gave them the structure to Christ the Album. After many hours spent in the studio, it was decided that Beethoven would be expertly weaved into the recordings. Call it Crasshoven if you like. This black vinyl pressing, limited to 1000 units, will also see all profits donated to the Refuge, a UK charity working against domestic violence.
