Credits

12":

'10 Notes On A Summer's Day' were written in Summer 1984 and the music worked on and recorded in the Winter of that year and on and off throughout 1985. '10 Notes' represents Crass's last "formal recording". We shall continue to make statements both individually and as a group, yet no longer feel obliged to be limited by the inward looking format of the "band".

Crass were: Steve Ignorant, vocals...Eve Libertine, vocals... Joy De Vivre, vocals...Phil Free, guitars... Pete Wright, bass... Penny Rimbaud, drums... G Sus, visuals... Mick Duffield, films and, with love and respect, B.A. Nana who went his own way in Summer 1984.

The recording engineers on '10 Notes' were John Loder, Anders Frandson, Michael McDowell and Mel Jefferson, who also engineered the mix. The keyboards were played by Penny Rimbaud. All work was undertaken at Southern Studios.
