Description
NEW 2XLP
Crass Records
“Best Before 1984 is a compilation of CRASS’ singles and other tracks, released in 1986, including lyrics and a booklet (‘…In Which Crass Voluntarily ‘Blow Their Own’”) which details the history of the band in their own words. The album was named in reference to the notion that 1984 was the band’s ‘sell by date’, the year that they had often publicly stated that they would split up. Indeed, the band ceased gigging and recording in that year. For many years, there were plans to release an expanded edition of Best Before 1984, which will include currently unavailable material (such as the ‘Merry Crassmas’ and ‘Whodunnit?’ singles) and rarities, in the same vein as the ‘Crassical Collection’ re-releases of the band’s albums. These plans finally came to fruition in 2019, with the announcement of an expanded two-disc version of the album.”
