M.D.C. – “Multi Death Corporation”

Description

Punk pioneers Crass continue their vinyl reissue series, re-pressing their limited releases by adjacent artists through Crass Records, in association with One Little Independent. Dada influenced, jazz-infused post-punks The Cravats originally released single ‘Rub Me Out’ with Crass Records in 1982. A favourite of John Peel’s, the Redditch band left a long legacy, reforming in 2009. Once again, the reissue has been remastered for 12″ by Alex Gordon at Abbey Road Studios, allowing the band’s originality to be heard as never before. 1983’s ‘Multi-Death Corporations’ broke new ground by addressing, in the lengthy liner notes and artwork, the growth of corporations and the violent suppression of left-wing politics in Central America. The Austin-based band released material through ex-Dead Kennedys singer Jello Biafra, cited influences such as Black Flag and D. O. A, as well as working with Crass Records.
