about

Crass were an English art collective and punk rock band formed in 1977 who promoted anarchism as a political ideology, a way of life and a resistance movement. Crass popularised the anarcho-punk movement of the punk subculture, advocating direct action, animal rights, feminism, anti-fascism, and environmentalism. The band used and advocated a DIY ethic approach to its albums, sound collages, leaflets, and films.

Painstakingly remastered and redesigned over recent years by Penny Rimbaud and Gee Vaucher, the Crassical Collections are a radical reappraisal of the Crass catalogue. The message remains the same, but with new visuals, improved sound and the added clarity of hindsight.

Crass as it was in the beginning, but with all the power of now.

Christ – The Album is number four in the revisited Crassical Collection. This double CD presentation contains the 2009 remastered original Crass album on CD1 and, on CD2, ‘Well Forked, But Not Dead’, a compilation of related tracks created throughout the recording of ‘Christ – The Album’, plus a fold-out poster and an illustrated booklet containing lyrics and contextual notes.

There is also the added bonus of creating an enlarged Crass logo when owning the complete set.

‘[Crass presented] ... a sequence of media, records, slogans, books, posters, magazines, films, actions and concerts so complex that they deserve a book to themselves, and so effective that they sowed the grounds for the return of serious anarchism and the popularity of CND in the early eighties.’ - Jon Savage, England’s Dreaming

‘For all their relentless challenge, direct language, visual bombardment of good taste, and their focus on the extreme manifestations and effects of war, death, patriarchy, religion, maybe the utopian element Crass offer is that implicit belief in a different, a better ‘other’, and in the positive possibilities of cultural practice: there is a truth (of some sort) and people can be convinced by it.’ - George McKay, Senseless Acts of Beauty

‘I’m a celebrity, get me out of here ...’ - John Lydon

about

Crass Epping, UK

Crass were an Anarcho-punk band formed in 1977. They popularised the anarcho-punk movement, and were advocates for such matters as direct action, animal rights, anti-facism, feminism, and environmentalism. From the word go, their career's ending was set to be 1984, and they lived up to this intention, splitting up following a miners' benefit gig in Wales in July that year. ... more
