CRASS - MERRY CRASSMAS (Crass Records 1981)

This is the record that everyone has heard of, but how many people have actually HEARD this record? One of the many scams that Crass had their fingers in(along with the amusing "OUR Wedding" Flexi), this one was leaked in a kiddie mag if im not mistaken. Heres some of the typing on the sleeve:

Merry Crassmas is another fine release from "Creative Recording and Sound Services". "C.R.A.S.S. is the name and C.R.A.S.S. is the game," as it reads on the record sleeve. Here's what else it says:

V/A WE DONT WANT YOUR FUCKING LAW! (Fight Back Records 1985)

I don't really have a lot of info on the Fight Back! label as a whole, I do know that they released various stuff that was tied to the Motorhate label in the mid eighties. This is not as good as the We Don't Want Your Fucking War comp that came out a year before. The only strong stuff on this comp would be the tracks by The Insane, Partisans, and the Upright Citizens stuff, but none the less a good comp.
WE DONT WANT YOUR FUCKING LAW!
