(DISCOGS.COM)
Formed in Leeds in 1978 by four school friends aged 16 to 18, all with no musical ability whatsoever but plenty of attitude, Icon A.D. immediately started upsetting the local newspaper, venues and the ‘rock’ fraternity but played only locally and released nothing and would probably have drifted into oblivion until they noticed an advert from Crass who were planning to release an album of ‘unknowns’. They submitted a rehearsal tape and the track ‘Cancer’ was included on the first ‘Bullshit Detector’ on the Crass label. 

The band were becoming increasingly politicised and sent some new recordings to Radical Change records who in September 1982 released the ‘Don’t Feed us Shit’ EP. The single was a huge success and peaked at No.2 in the ‘independent’ chart and in the tradition of ‘anarcho-punk’ was sold at a ‘Pay No More Than’ price.
The same month the band recorded a session for John Peel and shortly after recorded their next single ‘Let The Vultures Fly’ also released on Radical Change in June 1983, again sold at an ‘anarcho-punk’ price.
The single was another huge success far out-selling their previous single and Backs distribution who funded Radical Change wanted the band to cross over into the more mainstream punk market and suggested full colour covers and a full retail price.
Rather than compromise their principles the band split.
‘Lest We Forget’ compiles their two singles, their unreleased final single,their John Peel session and a further two previously unheard studio sessions.

I USE THE RECORD COLLECTORS GRADING SYSTEM:THIS RECORD IS VG and THE cover IS

VG. 

Mint (M) The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet. booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records marked as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint. Excellent (EX) The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing. Very Good (VG) The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects is acceptable Good (G) Te record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc Fair (F) The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced. Poor (P) The record will not play properly due to scratched, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing Bad (B) The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler CD’s and CASSETTES As a general rule CD’s and Cassettes either play perfectly – inwhich case they are in Mint condition – or they don’t, in which case their value is minimal. Cassette tape is liable to deteriorate with age, even if it remains unplayed, so care should be taken when buying old tapes. CD’s are difficult to grade visually; they can look perfect but actually be faulty, while in other cases they may appear damaged but still play perfectly. Cassette and CD inlays and booklets should be graded in the same way as record covers and sleeves. In general, the plastic containers for cassettes and CDs can easily be replaces if they are broken or scratched, but card covers and digipaks are subject to the same wear as record sleeves. ALL RECORDS WILL BE CAREFULLY PACKAGED WITH LOVE AND HARD CARDBOARD.
