Crass: Stations Of The Crass (Vinyl 2xLP)
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.
Stations Of The Crass is Crass' second album, released in 1979. The album was originally released as a double 12", featuring both studio and live tracks (recorded at The Pied Bull, Islington).
The first 3 sides contain studio material and play at 45 rpm, with the ultimate side featuring the live material, and playing at 33 rpm.
The album's name is a pun on Catholicism, as well as a reference to the graffiti campaign conducted by the band around the London Underground system (the cover depicts a wall at Bond Street that the band "decorated").
