The Mob - No Doves Fly Here (12")

Punk pioneers Crass continue their vinyl reissue series, re-pressing their limited releases by adjacent artists through Crass Records, in association with One Little Independent. The series, including over twenty bands and solo artists recorded at the legendary Southern Studios and produced by Penny Rimbaud, continues with two more historic pieces from the Crass Records catalogue: The Snipers’ ‘Three Peace Suite’ and ‘No Doves Fly Here’ by The Mob.

Recorded over two intense days in September 1981 at Southern Studios, ‘No Doves Fly Here’ by The Mob stands as a raw, unorthodox moment in anarcho-punk history. Produced by Penny Rimbaud and engineered alongside John Loder, the session saw Crass members and others pitch in - brewing endless pots of strong tea and occasionally manning a four-foot gong hired specially for the track.
