Review

3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Fascinating bandBy Todd ZimmerIf you grew up on punk music in the 80s; you had an opinion of Crass. You either loved them or hated them; but very few were indifferent. For me; the band had a mystique that transcended their music and I have to say; I was more interested in the look and content of their records than the politics of the band.The packaging and design of all the releases really kept me buying; not just Crass; but all bands on the Crass record label. Crass used design very effectively.And this is featured in the book prominently (graphic designers take note). Just about every question I would have for the band is answered in the book. The use of art; the relationship with the press; the private lives of the members examined. I had to nick a whole star off the review though because there is no index not enough pictures. This book is the best thing I have read on Crass though; George Berger; though; mentions that his preferred Anarchist Band was the Poison Girls. I do not agree; but would certainly read a book about them. Whadya say George?0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. early eighties Great Britain.By Brett Russell KastnerAnyone with more than a cursory interest in punk rock will appreciate the information into the history of the band and underground radicalism of the crust / anarchy punk scene of late seventies; early eighties Great Britain.1 of 2 people found the following review helpful. A MUST for Crass fansBy Rich L.The ONLY source for detailed information about how the band started; how they evolved; the recordings and motives for each of their releases....as the title says; THIS IS The Story Of Crass; period. More comprehensive than any Wikipedia entry could ever encompass.
