Crass "Feeding Of The Five Thousand (the Second Sitting)" LP (Vinyl, 2019)
The Feeding of the 5000 is the first album by Crass, originally released
in 1978. The record came to be made when Pete Stennett, owner of Small
Wonder Records, heard a demo that the band had recorded. Impressed by
all of the material, he decided that rather than release a conventional
single by the band, he would put all of their set onto an 18 track 12
inch EP. However problems were encountered when workers at the Irish
pressing plant contracted to manufacture the disc refused to handle it
due to the allegedly blasphemous content of the track "Reality Asylum"
(referred to as "Asylum" on the record sleeve). The record was
eventually released with this track removed and replaced by two minutes
of silence, retitled "The Sound Of Free Speech." This incident also
prompted Crass to set up their own record label in order to retain full
editorial control as well as political and legal responsibility for
their material, and "Reality Asylum" was shortly afterwards issued in a
re-recorded and extended form as a 7" single.
