This episode traces how Crass forged its own record label, released the seminal EP The Feeding of the 5000, and created a DIY infrastructure that empowered anarchist punk bands across Britain. It covers the political clash with pressing plants, the minimalist pricing model, stencil art tactics, and the grassroots distribution networks that turned every vinyl into an agitprop statement.
