best band on CRASS records?

http://www.brainwashed.com/anxiety/321984_3.jpg

it actually goes

Anthrax>Cravats>R. Peni>FOPI>Crass

No, I'm sorry but I'm afraid Dan is absolutely right, The Mob were definitely the best band on Crass records, even if their album wasn't on Crass and the single they did release on Crass wasn't even their best single.

Other great acts who had something released on Crass and haven't been mentioned so far: Captain Sensible; Zounds; Chumbawamba (contributed a track on one of the Bullshit Detector comps - as did Napalm Death IIRC)

But while I'm on this thread, my faves are much the same as listed above: Flux of Pink Indians, Zounds, Honey Bane, Crass themselves, Anthrax, Rudimentary Peni, in roughly that order probably. Also lots of songs on Bullshit Detector #1 and #2 are great if very lo-fi! Haven't got #3.

Managed to get the Honey Bane and Flux of Pink Indians 7"s off Ebay for not very much, couple of quid each I think.

poison girls friggin rule.

Crass grafix: C/D?

Any sensible person has their own Crass phase

poison girls rule!!!

I had that Honey Bane disc at one point. Dunno if I sold it or not.

Poison Girls for me too. but there's so much great stuff on the label.

I have all this already but this is pretty much wall to wall bangers. Would cut Andy T and D&V. Conflict and the Subhumans are weird omissions?

1) Flux Of Pink Indians - Tube Disasters 4.06

that means it has the Neu Smell introduction which I love on its own but in a compilation it should probably just cut to the actual song? maybe not because the "parliament says it's safe, well why not bury it there?" line is pretty cool before the song kicks in

where is Kronstadt Uprising band

1) Chumbawamba - Revolution 4.43

kind of feel like this song sums up the entire history of failed political movements in the UK and why we can't have nice things. no i don't know how to fix it

who wants to talk about Fallout

I'm not sure I want to right now.

3 brilliant singles as Six Minute War. Crass weren't left wing enough for them

did you know? the queen sucks nazi cocks

D&V is one of my all time favourites. i never liked Conflict.

1) Chumbawamba - Revolution 4.43

kind of feel like this song sums up the entire history of failed political movements in the UK and why we can't have nice things. no i don't know how to fix it

i feel exactly the same.

that means it has the Neu Smell introduction which I love on its own but in a compilation it should probably just cut to the actual song?

laboured over and over on this and decided, particularly as it is ther first track on that side, to keep the introduction.

Can ye smell the neu smell, travelling through the air?
Aye I can lad, it's a coming from over there
Over the hills, down in the valley, there's new buildings there
There's a nuclear power dumpsite someone doesn't care
Parliament says it's safe, well why not build it there..

xpost sorry I didn't realise you'd compiled this or I wouldn't have been so nitpicky!

that's ok. i'd have been nitpicky if someone else compiled it. i co-compiled it with an old friend who was drumnmer for the apostles when he was 14. tbh i'm not sure why subhumans slipped through.

Chr*s L*w? (I don't know him but I see him post here and there on FB/elsewhere and he seems like a smart guy)

yup, that's him.

I was bored so I did a quick "bands that aren't on that comp":

Anthrax - Got It All Wrong
Conflict - The Serenade Is Dead
Disrupters - Pigs In Blue
Epileptics - 1970s
Flowers In The Dustbin - The Continuing Tragedy Of Mr Smith
Health Hazzard - Picture Show
Icon - Cancer
Icons Of Filth - Present And History
Kronstadt Uprising - Blind People
Living Legends - Island Wars
Lost Cherrees - Pain Relief
Naked - Mid 1930s (Pre-War Germany)
Reality - Acceptable Death Loss
Riot/Clone - Bottled Oi
Rubella Ballet - Ballet Dance
Solvent Abuse - Social Scum
Subhumans - Subvert City
The System - Dogs Of War
Wild Youth - Plastic Age
XS - Fuck The System

Living Legends - Island Wars was on initially and then got uncermoniously swapped out for something else. Maybe there will be a volume 2, though this volume took over 5 years to put together so maybe not.

I can imagine getting the rights to some of this stuff might be challenging. It's great that labels like Overground and La Vida Es Un Mus (via Sealed/Demo Tapes) have been reissuing so much of the lesser known stuff from this era though.

i see i spammed this last year but it is finally out and as all proceeds are being donated i think it's maybe ok to post this again.

Love the Cravats, this looks cool but I also have all these records already!

it's really aimed at a new audience (hopefully!) although hoping The Mob - No Doves Fly Here (unreleased original studio version) might lure in some oldies. :)

Yeah, I can see that— :)

my wife used to hang with the mob back in the day and does a great version of that song, i always want to record her doing it but she is shy

omg I will bug y'all about this offline <3
