VA - Bullshit Detector #1 12"

Released on Crass Records in 1980, this was a compilation of unsigned punk bands taken from demo tapes. As such the sound quality is pretty terrible throughout! Some of these bands would go on to release some great records, such as Amebix, Disrupters, Alternative. Icon changed their name to Icon AD and released a couple of singles with a poppier sound than their track on here. Overground records released a CD compiling those recently. Most of the other bands disappeared into the ether.

Is this the most music anyone's fitted on a 12" at 45RPM? I have no idea why Crass didn't press this at 33.

My favourite songs are Counter Attack, Icon, Eratics & Disrupters.
