Crass - Christ: Crassical Collection 2xCD

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.
