Part 1 of "The Crassical Collection" reissue series, the legendary Crass album has been been restored from the original analog studio tapes, repackaged with a 64 pg booklet with lyrics, liner notes from band members Steve Ignorant & Penny Rimbaud, a cd sized recreation of the original fold-out poster sleeve, & bolstered by rare & unreleased tracks, & stunning new artwork from Gee Vaucher, who has lovingly created what could only be considered a real artifact. First released in 1978 on Small Wonder Records, & later re-released on the band's own Crass Records, The Feeding of the Five Thousand showed Crass as an anti-establishment & highly uncompromising act, & one that would influence countless other bands to follow
