Featuring CRASS frontman, Steve Ignorant, ‘To A Nation of Animal Lovers’ was originally recorded and mixed at Southern Studios, North London in April 1983.
With ‘To A Nation of Animals’, Conflict cemented their standing at the forefront of the animal rights movement in the early eighties.
‘To a Nation of Animal Lovers’ is a legendary, brutal anarcho-punk record. It features Steve Ignorant from the band CRASS and targets animal abuse. It uses intense punk and fierce lyrics to demand an end to animal testing and cruelty.
A few years ago following the passing of John Loder, the original multi track tapes were returned to the band. Colin and Gav King (Conflict guitarist of the past 18 years) sent the tapes off to be ‘baked’ and digitised with the intent of remixing them once their new album was complete and released.
Unfortunately Colin passed away before that could happen but Gav King continued with the task of remixing the tracks that were recorded 43 years earlier.
Included in the box were the original mixes on ¼ inch tape so Colin’s lifelong close mate, Sid Truelove (Rubella Ballet), agreed to remaster them.
A tape of alternative mixdowns, previously unheard, was also discovered and are now available on here too.
Side A has the original 3 tracks fully remixed and mastered by Gav King as well as an alternative ‘Decomposing Dub’ mix of ‘Meat Still Means Murder!’.
Side B has the 3 original tracks remastered by Sid Truelove as well as 3 early mixes previously unheard.
Includes A2 poster of the original hard hitting artwork.
