During the mid-1980s, Greater Manchester Police under the direction of James Anderton seized copies along with other records by Crass and the Dead Kennedys, from Eastern Bloc record shop. Frank Schofield was charged with displaying \"obscene articles for publication for gain\". The band Flux of Pink Indians, its two record labels and its publishing company were also charged under the Obscene Publications Act. The judge ruled against Crass in the ensuing court case, although this decision was overturned by the Court of Appeal, apart from the lyrics to one song, \"Bata Motel\". The heavy costs incurred by this episode were a contributing factor in Crass deciding to disband.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBoth the vinyl and CD feature fold-out poster sleeves and are exact replicas of the original pressing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpecial Instructions: Penis Envy, number three in the revisited double CD Crassical Collection is a double CD presentation containing the 2009 remastered original Crass album on CD1 and, on CD\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBata Motel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSystemic Death\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePoison In A Pretty Pill\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat The Fuck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhere Next Columbus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBerketex Bride\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmother Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHealth Surface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDry Weather\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOur Wedding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYorkie Talk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYes, Folks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Unelected President\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"4","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":50558955028776,"sku":"501695808835","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/3833\/7576\/files\/3860422-2614052.jpg?v=1763982999","url":"https:\/\/waterloorecords.com\/products\/crass-penis-envy-crassical-coll-cd-501695808835","provider":"Waterloo Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
