The band had also incurred heavy legal expenses for the Penis Envy prosecution; this, combined with exhaustion and the pressures of living and operating together, finally took its toll. On 7 July 1984, the band played a benefit-gig at Aberdare , Wales for striking miners , and on the return trip, guitarist N. A. Palmer announced his intent to leave the group. This confirmed Crass’s previous intention to quit in 1984, and the band was dissolved.
