So to my understanding, and for anyone who is curious, this is the re-recorded version of The Licks-1970's EP, now called The Epileptics. This new version was released on Spiderleg Records (1981) and re-recorded with Penny Rimbaud on drums. The sound and performance is much better, in my opinion.
the lyrics to system rejects still put a shiver through me.sums up being a punk in 1980 was to me. good to hear these versions of the songs,i still have original ep. fuckin excellent.
I was born in 94 and a lot of these songs give me chills and a sense of sadness on how we’re still dealing w the same shit system. I thank anarcho punk bands, punk as well for expressing their anger this way and exposing shit most people wouldn’t care to listen to
Callum Lightfoot Penny Rimbaud is drumming on this EP, as people have said this EP "copied" or was "trying" to be like Crass......with out even knowing who was drumming....not to mention that alot of the early crass records bands had members of Crass playing in some form or another.... To be honest the only thing band that sounded like Crass was Honey Banes "Girl on the run" Which was Crass with Honey on vocals Besides that most of all the Crass records bands had their own sound, even if all their release art had all of the same stencil like art work
Yup I gotta agree with matey.. I love the early 🅰️ N 🅰️ RCHO ---PUNK BANDS , LIKE flux of pink indians, Cr🅰️as, rubella ballet, SUBHUMANS, ect,ect, after 86 the 🅰️ N 🅰️ RCHO scene started to get metally ANYHOOS WORLD I'm now 53 yrs old and still a punk today well as they say init for life...!!?? NO WAR'S BUT CLASS WAR, 🅰️ N 🅰️ RCHY AND FREEDOM, PEACE UNITY AND RESPECT STAY SAFE WORLD 🌈🌈🌈☮️☯️🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴🏴💣💣💥💥🔥💥💥🍺😊👍
Obviously Crass, uhhh let’s see some more; anthrax (82), antisect, flux of pink Indians, honey bane, the system, zounds, omega tribe. Nausea from New York a little while later has the same sentiments, yet a harsher sound
The Epileptics - 1970's EP (1981) 0540am 28.12.21 sounds like them... sounds like those kids from east anglia being the only punx whoever existed. musically - yeah, cool.. price wise - indeed... 75p. paying anymore than 75pence for this - once over the record seller would have died... akin to play loud or not at all - a statement i used to adhere to cos it exclaimed i had to.

Plastic crap with plastic hallmarks
Defecation that falls apart
Plastic lungs, plastic hearts,
Plastic cups were just the start
Chorus:
1970's have been made in Hong Kong
1970's have been made in Hong Kong
Plastic crap, plastic crap that keeps going wrong
Hong Kong, Hong Kong - you can't undo what you've done
Pollution sifting through the air
You laugh now but you'll be there
The clouds will come down and smother your face
But I suppose by then we'll have imitation air
In a couple of years we'll all be perfect,
Plastic, imitation - will it be worth it?
Hong Kong spread worldwide
Full of scientists trying to unearth it
Thank you
Ironic when china is now miles ahead of the western world in environmentalism
Yep thank's
classic punk, doesn't get much better
SteveRes I agree. 1970s-early 80s is punk at it's best. Nowadays most bands try too hard to be like them.
100% agree Oi!

@@elrepelenteGH Yes, I’m aware. 👍
This is fucking undeniably the best punk band ever to piss beer in an alley

Do you think it's weird they went flux?
@@watsenju1103 WHY!!.
@@Ed-li1xg I don't know. I guess I never looked up why they changed
Sounds frikkin' good ! For the time, Crass Records did a really good job on the message and sound.

could you send the lyrics, most I can make out
hey, are you the guy who sang for black flag ?
@@willardmelvin7957 You’re thinking of Creetin K-os who sang for Social Unrest. ;)

I love these early uk anarcho bands before it got all grindy and metal sounding
Yep...something magical and heartfelt about the early Anarcho punk scene...great music...
I just love how punk can be so hahaha funny..!
Yesterday's crusties, tomorrow's disrockers.
I agree totaly; i love the fun and the simple strong structure METAL is one bridge too far for me...
It's all pretty good in my opinion.
The drums. I get aggressive feelings from that drum beat. Hes good.
y3ah man ...
I don't shit about music but I think ur right......kicks ass!!!!!
@@vincestar5537 penny rimbaud in drums
@@paulchambers8324 cool thanks for the information.
I love the high hat in the first track
beautiful
love this & "FLUX OF PINK INDIANS"...cheers from canada (A)///(E) A.L.F
crass has been my favorite since 1981 . . but today its the epileptics!!!! :-)
That illustration kinda looks like Beavis and Butthead's principal.
1970's (Were Made In Hong Kong) has been my favorite song for the last couple of days. Amazing.
These fellas reminded me of a harder edged more snarling version of Subhumans ,especially on the second track.
I know what you mean. Dick does sound like a bit like Colin.
i love this ep!
As punk as it gets.
very good band... thanks
He did it again.
The first track is gold.
I fucking had this record ! God's where's my brain gone to have forgotten so much. Good stuff
I like it! Thanks for sharing with the world such great music.
Richard Beaudoin thanks for watching bro!
Great!!
This is a good song to skate in the street
yes!
Amazing 👏
Безумно великолепно и круто🤘🤘🤘хой!!!
this is beautiful
flux of the . . has been my favorite since about 1982 . . hmmm
fantastic!!
Triad days comes to mind.......
Excellent album
Still so good today!
This really blew up! 🔥🎶🎸
great!
GREAT
they didn't copy Crass, not at all, they have their own god damn art of lyrics, even if the vocals are pretty similar, which isn't bad
TheBlueberrychips exactly. saying this band copied crass is like saying all the crass record bands copied them
Callum Lightfoot Penny Rimbaud is drumming on this EP, as people have said this EP "copied" or was "trying" to be like Crass......with out even knowing who was drumming....not to mention that alot of the early crass records bands had members of Crass playing in some form or another....

Jayme Splendid boom! you got it perfect
Listen to Peni or Flux,Poison Girls (tho I don't know if you would call them a "crass" band) Anthrax...the all sound SO different...
oh yeah! ive listened to all of them im actually getting a peni tattoo soon
👌👌👌
woops..found a jewel.. ❣ thx !
Arrrgh! Brilliant just LIKE IT
SHOULD BE!!!
great to see Norelles name again, we traded a few records in the '80s
❤️
Masterpiece ! Kroezel
Dont get me wrong i love all the anarcho stuff but sometimes its great to listen to stuff like this and remember how much fun punk rock really id
I just put this on my playlist been listening since 1980 funny how punk is trendy now
Pay no more than 75p ;)
......................now?(!!??!!)
I don't think punk is trendy anymore, the only punk band i know is acidez from modern era
The views on this blew up big time! 💜💜🎸
Still got the record....yeah...I know....I"m old...😂😊👍🖖🤙🏻
Ici ...vous avez presque tous raison 😊

Holy guacamole! Is it just my or was the 1970s track straight up lifted by Government Warning on their Arrested EP circa 2007?!
It’s cool
Is this the rerecording when they were doing Flux?
+discohospital Yes
Oh yeah. Punk and anarchy early days.
The production has no right to be this good
I'm really upset that I couldn't hear a bossa nova version of this EP with that link
Old School UK !
Flux brill :)
Guys I'm new to the scene but I fucking love this. Can anyone recommend some music like this?
