They planned to play five songs, but a neighbour pulled the plug after three. Guitarist Steve Herman left the band soon afterwards, and was replaced by Phil Clancey, aka Phil Free. Joy De Vivre and Eve Libertine also joined around this time. Other early Crass performances included a four date tour of New York City, a festival gig in Covent Garden1. U. K.

Crass countered that their uniform appearance was intended to be a statement against the cult of personality, so in contrast to many rock bands no member would be identified as the leader. Conceived and intended as cover artwork for a self published pamphlet version of Rimbauds Christs Reality Asylum, the Crass logo was an amalgam of several icons of authority including the Christian cross, the swastika, the Union Jack and a two headed Ouroboros symbolising the idea that power will eventually destroy itself. Using such deliberately mixed messages was part of Crass strategy of presenting themselves as a barrage of contradictions,2. Rimbauds words make your own fucking minds up.

This incident prompted Crass to set up their own independent record label, Crass Records, to prevent Small Wonder from being placed in a compromising position and to retain editorial control over their material. A re recorded, extended version of Asylum, renamed Reality Asylum, was shortly afterwards released on Crass Records as a 7 single and Crass were investigated by the police due to the songs lyrics.

During the performance Socialist Workers Party supporters and other anti fascists attacked British Movementneo Nazis, triggering violence. Crass afterwards argued that the leftists were largely to blame for the fighting, and organizations such as Rock Against Racism were causing audiences to become polarised into left and right wing factions.
