[europica]

A very interesting interview. Does anyone remember the song they did with The Damned? I think it was called "What do you give the man who's gotten everything?" If I remember right it was on the B side of Big A Little A.. Is it up on youtube? I cannot find it. Penny is a nice guy with no bull,but I do wish that he would find out who he is and what he is.

[gimmefiftycent]

[colinmiller64]

Unreal!! A proper insight to the band and movement that shaped my teens. I remember going to Small Wonder regularly and heard those demos, with Pete. It felt like forever waiting for 'Feeding' to get released. I still have my Small Wonder copy in my collection, along with pretty much everything that Crass put out. Thank you for posting these

[pancrack]

@colinmiller64 cheers Colin

[colmmullins]

uve just made my year! (pancrak) Penny you ledgend!

[george1punk2]

i loved all 8 vids, making me think alot more about punk and the DIY scene and how we need more people to step up in the punk world and say fuck of to all this commercial shite, not saying its not around, but there sould be more.

[Kingfillins]

Check Jeffrey Lewis's Crass covers on youtube....He did an album of Crass covers....

Its interesting hearing these songs in a different lite....The words are possibly even more powerful...

[Kingfillins]

This was an excellent interview...

What comes to mind is that its a little sad that Penny is rather blaa about his time with Crass, I mean thats fine hoverer for me Crass had a huge influence on my life...& the political social mirror that Crass held.. Its all good that that time was no different for him than any other time.. but they really shifted many peoples lives into a new paradigm... (and still are) and that's something special that I thank him for....

Loved crass, love Penny. Thanks for posting this.

[amnodeidyet]

Great stuff! Thanks for posting. The feeding of the 5000 was a highlight of my youth. Brilliant! Thanks!

[Jones7036]

Thanks for posting, very interesting and insightful stuff, I was too young to be there at the tbeginning so i only got into it in the early 80's. So it is nice to hear from it the horses mouth.

[kapiteinzeikstraal]

Tnx for this. Loved it.

[jeebos2006]

Insightful and sincere, really great to find out about his philosophy and recollections, thanks for posting these

[Tadeusz598]

very interesting, watched the lot

[AmericanDiaz]

Is his son really named Peter Pan?

[imadinnerlady]

No. In an earlier part of the interview he asks what his ideal audience was at the time of Crass and he said a 13ys old working class kid from Glasgow. Then he said that that's still his ideal audience, so he's called him Peter Pan coz he hasn't got any older.

[AmericanDiaz]

I would name my son Peter Pan and then he would grow up and beat the stuffing out of me, like in that Johnny Cash song, "A boy named Sue"!

[jehutes]

@AmericanDiaz

No. Peter Pan was a symbol of his model audience that he talks about it one of the previous videos.

[ramarover]

thanks for uploading this interview, crass were hugely influential on myself and many of my friends, it's fascinating to hear Penny speaking directly, a very interesting, aware and thoughtful person

[gerontodon]

This was interesting.

[bellashiza90]

Thank you for posting all 8 videos!

[pancrack]

thanks for the thanks! it was great putting it together

[Threaders85]

Yea man cheers. Its really though provoking.

[pancrack]

nice one...hope springs eternal from bleak miserable buggers!

[belgianmoosefag]

Thanks for making this available. Crass inspired me when I first heard them in 1980, and I continue to be inspired to this day. Serious stuff that improves the quality of existence, and - although I should maybe know better at this point - gives hope...

[FIZZYYAM]

Thanx for upload.....history without big brothers airbrush.

[pancrack]

indeedy !

[Syndikati]

[assassin1964]

great upload pancrack.. thanks.. anarchy peace freedom

[crayus00]

I really enjoyed this interview. Crass was a massive influence on me. Thanks.

[pancrack]

Future generations will build statues...but would Penny approve? methinks not!

[jacquelinet101]

Really enjoyed the interviews. Its been 40 years since I spoke to Penny at Loughton.. Stay well mate.

[anoncomposmentis]

Well I just watched all 8 videos in a row. I'm not sure if anybody realises the depth of Penny's influence. Future generations will build statues.

[nothinggrinner]

interesting bloke. grate interview.

[mystflame]

such wonderful surprise: been thinking of penny a lot recently and it's been an absolute pleasure to watch this! thanks for uploading and sharing.

[pancrack]

cheers to everyone for feedback !

[Nuyann]

Awesome interview, very inspirational. Thanks for uploading.

[Durandal1717]

I absolutely loved 10 Notes On A Summerday, but never really explored Penny's jazz infatuation further. This short clip was pretty good, so I finally might...

[GriefTourist]

who else would have put out the records that people moaned that penny 'didn't get the right sound' on. there's no pleasing some folks. thanks a lot for these uploads, penny is a great guy and an inspiration.

[didencjusz]

I was once a teen punk in late eighties Poland and Crass along with Subhumans were my favorite band. In fact they urged me to learn English to understand the message. Today after almost 20 years all of the sudden I recalled them.

So I youtubed Crass and what I got? This brilliant story! Thanx a lot! Now back to Crass on You Tube.

[mihangel101]

Very inspirational Penny. I hated the music of the 80s but loved the 80s. Against all odds, the miners, the animal rights movement, etc hit the streets in big numbers in Britain. I was glad to be a part of it. What of the future? It feels like we have back-pedalled and the feeling of franchisement has been buried in the 21st century. I now live in the US and the optimism has exploded here but I think we know what's in store. The media feel-good factor rules.

[Bitteulze]

Brilliant interview. Thank you very much.

[dhawesuk]

Thanks for taking the time to put this up. I just finished watching all 8 parts and found it a wonderful insight into such a phenomenal band. Penny is truly articulate and an inspiration.

[pancrack]

cheers mate!

[curiosofsigns1234]

Thanks for putting this up.

[pressgangers]

I was watching the new BBC drama "Merlin" The other night and the character played by Richard Wilson does have a striking resemblance to Penny Rimbaud
