I'm not sure what date this recording was actually broadcast as it clearly is a repeat. Don't let this deter you though as this is brilliant. Crass were one of the few punk bands who REALLY were genuine and not some kind of bandwagon jumpers. Formed in 1977 in Essex their first release was an eighteen track album called "The Feeding Of The 5000" and was released in 1978 through Small Wonder Records. Originally the album contained a track called "Reality Asylum" but it was removed after protests from workers in the pressing plant that the track was blasphemous. It was replaced with a track called "The Sound Of Free Speach" which was actually nothing more than a couple of minues of silence although this track sounds rather nice on my copy due to the amount of surface noise it contains. This prompted Crass to set up their own label "Crass Records" for their future releases so they could never be silenced again.
This is the only session Crass recorded for the BBC.
