Ugh! Why are Crass's own words of self-importance on the Crass page? I thought this was an "encyclopedia," not an autobiography.
Would the person who posted the laborious "liner notes" please remove them, or at least edit, edit, edit...
Thank you.
replaced Crass history with a link to external site with the same text.
to those who keep changing the date of crass' formation to 1976, please note the following from their website at http://www.southern.com/southern/band/CRASS/
- "Steve and Penny had been writing and playing together since early '77, but it wasn't until Summer of that year that we had begged, borrowed and stolen enough equipment to actually call ourselver a band....CRASS."quercus robur
But the page of 1976 in music said Crass was recording their demos first before they formed in 1977.
Whatever, but thats because some clown who doesn't know what they are talking about has changed it from 1977 in music- again! quercus robur
- I would be interested to know where the apparently persistent idea that Crass formed in 1976 comes from. According to Crass' own biography & website they clearly state that they formed in 77. This is also stated in Penny Rimbaud's autobiography, and their first demo, fragments of which appear on the live part of 'Christ the Album', was recorded in 'summer 1977'. quercus robur 08:26 Feb 26, 2003 (UTC)
- It now says that they formed in 1977 but recorded their first demos in 1976. Unless there's something faulty with my understanding of what it is to "form", this isn't possible, so I'm reverting it. If Michael wants to explain this, he's welcome to do so (but he doesn't seem to be the most talkative fellow, unfortunately). --Camembert
It's true, they did do their demos in 1976 before they started forming 1977, sir. --Michael
- Whatever --Camembert
