Description

seriously beat up super heavily used second hand copy


“It’s Time to See Who’s Who” is the debut album from the British punk rock band Conflict. It was released in 1983 by Corpus Christi Records, and rerecorded and released in 1994 as It’s Time to See Who’s Who Now on the band’s own label Mortarhate Records, with a different track listing. Some of the finest 80’s punk rock you’ll ever hear. UK punk for sure, but don’t expect a GBH or Chaos UK-style hardcore pounding; they are part of the Crass family, so the message comes first.  But instead of endlessly attacking organized religion, it’s everything from veganism to the Vietnam War to anti-government sentiments.  Musically speaking, the band does cook – often sounding like a stripped-down version of The Clash (no reggae, no horns).  The drummer is shit-hot and the bass playing in cuts like “The Guilt and the Glory” and “Young Parasites” is nimble and groovy.

5.0 out of 5 stars A stunning debut,
This is a punk classic. I can remember buying the LP and then getting another one just in case anything ever happened to the first record! Fantastic driving guitars, extremely tight, searing lyrics. Brilliant anthems all of them.
– What is it with people who talk about production quality? There nothing wrong with it and it a punk album for god sake..


5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant raw passionate first album… This is definitely the best Conflict album. It is more musical and diverse in style than subsequent releases. This album is thought provoking from start to finish and each track stands out in style from the rest. You can hear the raw passion in each piece of work.


I’ve always considered the more melodic side of the punk spectrum to be my definite favourite but I guess as ‘It’s Time to See Who’s Who’ proves, the thrashy and shouty stuff is pretty cool in its own way too. Like ‘Feeding of the 5000’ at double tempo, this album is not only great anarchopunk but great hardcore – a mad scramble of pure political rage. The off-kilter sprightliness of opener ‘Young Parasites’ lulls you into a false sense of security while everything else goes for the jugular. Looking forward to getting home and cranking this loudly!


TIM YOHANNAN, MAXIMUM ROCKNROLL #5, MARCH/APRIL 1983: A very well-produced record by a band heavily influenced by CRASS. The punk herein is sometimes slow, sometimes frantic, but always political. Most of the songs have that well-known militaristic sound, but a few are downright melodic. The multi-colored sleeve is unusual for a Crass-related label, and there are some real musical moments here. Don’t miss out.


IRA ROBBINS, THE TROUSER PRESS RECORD GUIDE, 1991: I’m not sure what to think about the music of a band that informs me that “three members are vegetarians” and then tattles on the one Paco who isn’t. The sleeve of the second album by these Crass-family Anglo- anarchists (Steve Ignorant, who became, along with malnman Colin Jerwood, one of Conflict’s three simultaneous lead vocalists, was a founding member of Crass) also notes that the band “still wear articles of leather” but they’ve gotten down to “just boots,” which “they will continue to wear until they are useless” but “will not buy more.” I certainly respect people with a highly developed and self-disciplined political consciousness, but I can’t shake the feeling that a record album should do more than announce how deep the musicians’ commitment runs. In the real/rock world, only the young and the gullible expect their favorite bands to abide by lofty personal standards. That aside, Conflict (not to be confused with an Arizona band of the same name which recorded for Placebo) is a pretty good political punk band, powered by fire and intelligence. It’s Time to See Who’s Who has incredibly ornate artwork and songs about media, Vietnam, vegetarianism (Smiths fans should note Conflict’s “Meat Means Murder” here) and related issues.
