''Yes Sir, I Will'' was the 5th album released in March 1983 by anarcho-punk band, Crass. The album was essentially a bitter and virulent attack on then prime minister, Margaret Thatcher, and her government in the aftermath of the Falklands War and was set nearly wholly over a raging and an almost free-form improvised backing provided by the group's musicians. Many of the lyrics from this album are extracted from Penny Rimbaud's extended poem ''Rocky Eyed''. The original vinyl release contained no banding between songs, thus presenting the contents as one long piece split over both sides, making it the longest punk song ever recorded (the CD release was tracked by individual song).〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://shop.southern.com/crass-yes-sir-i-will-vinyl/ )〕 Rimbaud summarised the album in an interview to Radio Free France : Sleeve notes for the album include parts of Rimbaud's article ''The Pig's Head Controversy'' that originally appeared in the Crass-produced magazine ''International Anthem''.〔(The Pig's Head Controversy )〕 The title of the record is ironic, taken from a news cutting reporting a conversation said to have taken place between Charles, Prince of Wales, and a badly burned soldier (Simon Weston) who had returned from the Falklands; "Get well soon," the Prince said. And the heroic soldier replied "Yes sir, I will". Rimbaud, commenting on this, has said, "That was the hook. That was such an audacious thing to do at the time. Especially given that one had to feel compassion for Simon Weston." The album was notable in the extreme disparity between the aggression of the music and the peacefulness of their message. In an interview about the nature of the anger that often crossed between passion and aggression on the album, Gee Vaucher said : ==Rereleases== A film made by Crass member Gee Vaucher to accompany ''Yes Sir, I Will'' was shown at the UK National Film Theatre's ''Stuff the Jubilee'' festival of punk films in 2002, and the track was remixed in 2002 by Rimbaud to incorporate additional jazz instrumentation provided by the jazz instrumentalists, Ingrid Laubrock (saxophone) and Julian Siegel (double bass), to augment the original performance.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://recordcollectormag.com/reviews/yes-sir-i-will )〕 The 'Crassical Collection' version of this release, including new artwork by Vaucher, remastered sound and liner notes by Steve Ignorant and Rimbaud, was released on May 17, 2011. The reissue also contains a second disc (entitled ''Why Don't You Fuck Off?''), which has Rimbaud's 2002 remix of the album, featuring Laubrock and Seigal.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://shop.southern.com/crass-yes-sir-i-will-cd/ )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Yes Sir, I Will」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
