Ladies and Lords of the anarpunkeyology--
oh yes i remember Crass! as you say they were kind of a wild mix of hippiedom and punkdowm and did many tracts very interesting takes on anarchism--that came with the albums--
in his book THE ASSAULT ON CULTURE Stewart Home writes about them--it has been so long since i read the book--i wonder if anything flux related might be in it--there is lot about neoism which he was involved with--i just found dollar copy of one of his skinhead novels, SLOW DEATH (which was a truly awesome Flamin' Groovies song--but not related to this)--
a book i liked a lot back in the day bfore these things were done to death--SUBCULTURE: A MANUAL OF STYLE by Dick Hebdige--he uses people like Genet, T.S. Eliot, Barthes, etc--at same time lot of good things re punk and the rockers etc--the mods--(think of the Jam who have mod style of early Who and Kinks--) but book written before them--)
for the usa--Maximum Rock and Rol was great zine--also the erratic KICKS--best rock and rol journal ever--focused almost exculsively on pre-1967 as they thought as many do that rock and rol died that year--turned into "rock"--
long live the Legendary Stardust Cowboy--but even far wilder--Hasil Adkins! not to mention one of the great truly out there--the Quaser i think of Rock and Roll--(or maybe Little Richard usurped that)--Esquerita!--cjheckl out if you can his fantastic sound pome with clashing baniong clattering nerve rattling bone shaking piano--"The Voola"!
