Reviews & Opinions

PUNKY GIBBON: Another live album documenting the group's last tour in 1984, doing their best to avoid being a "greatest hits" package, even to the extent of performing twelve minutes of Yes Sir I Will. For non-fans, a very hard slog indeed.

Additional Notes

This CD version of this bootleg was issued with Crass's consent providing all proceeds went to charity.
