'''''Penis Envy''''', released in [[1981]], was the third LP by [[anarchist]] [[Punk rock|punk]] band [[Crass]]. |
|||
Named as a reference to some of [[Freud]]'s [[Penis envy|ideas concerning sexuality]], this release marked something of a departure from the somewhat 'macho', 'hardcore punk' image that ''[[The Feeding of the 5000]]'' and its follow up ''[[Stations of the Crass]]'' had to some extent given the group, for it featured more obviously complex musical arrangements, as well as exclusively female vocals provided by [[Eve Libertine]] and [[Joy De Vivre]] (although [[Steve Ignorant]] remained a group member and is credited on the record sleeve as ''not on this recording''). The album addressed [[feminist]] issues and once again attacked the institutions of 'the system' such as [[marriage]] and [[sexual repression]]. |
|||
One track, not actually listed on the album cover, was a deliberately sacharine (described in fact by the band themselves as ''pure, unadulterated shit'') parody of an '[[MOR]]' love song entitled "Our Wedding" [http://www.southern.com/southern/label/CRC/09410.html]. This was given away as a [[flexi disc]] with a teenage girl's romance magazine called ''Loving'' after having been offered it by an organisation calling itself ''Creative Recording And Sound Services'' (note the initials). A minor [[tabloid]] furore erupted once the hoax was revealed, with the [[News of the World]] going so far as to state that the album's title was "too obscene to print" (a leaflet giving the background to this [[situationist]]-style prank was subsequently issued by the band[http://www.southern.com/southern/label/CRC/leaflet3.html]). |
