Album Summary
Note: This album has been submitted by a user and is not included in any edition of the book.
The Feeding of the 5000 is the first album by the anarcho-punk band Crass. The album was recorded on 29 October 1978 by John Loder at Southern Studios and was released the same year. It was considered revolutionary in its time due for its extreme sound, frequently profane lyrical content and the anarchist political ideals in the lyrics. The album also saw the introduction of Crass's policy of ensuring cheap prices for their records. The album is considered as one of the first punk albums to expound serious anarchist philosophy.

More 70s British punk. I guess this is getting pretty close to the original recipe but it's a sound I've gotten pretty tired of. As far as the politics are concerned I guess I'm more or less a partisan at least somewhere along the same spectrum but honestly, what did this sort of counterculture agitation ever accomplish? All this kind of ideology remains in a deep and ineffectual minority.
