Best Before 1984 is a compilation of Crass' singles and other tracks, released in 1986, including lyrics and a booklet ("...In Which Crass Voluntarily 'Blow Their Own'") which details the history of the band in their own words. The record brings together controversial tracks like 'Reality Asylum' (in an alternate, extended version to the original album edition), 'Sheep Farming In The Falklands' and offering up both the 7" release of 'Do They Owe Us A Living?' and its last ever performance at the band's last ever gig in 1984 at a Miners' benefit concert in Wales. The album has been remastered by Alex Gordon at Abbey Road Studios, as close as possible to the sound of the original release.
