Stations of the Crass is the second album by Crass, released in 1979. The record, originally released as a double 12" EP, includes live tracks from a gig recorded at the Pied Bull pub in Islington, London on August 7, 1979. The album's title is not only a pun on the Catholic rite of the Stations of the Cross (such jibes against the religious establishment were almost a Crass hallmark), but is also a reference to the graffiti campaign that the band had been conducting around London's underground railway system, the cover artwork depicting a wall at Tottenham Court Road tube station that had allegedly been 'decorated' by them.
