Recorded in early 1982 at Crass' rehearsal studio at Dial House, Christ Alive! – The Rehearsal offers a rare and intimate glimpse into the creative process of one of punk's most uncompromising and influential bands. Originally released as part of Record Store Day 2021 Drop 2, this double LP captures the raw, unpolished workings behind the songs, described as "spattered with the workings of Ludwig Van Beethoven's 5th Symphony."

Spanning over 40 minutes across two sides, this release documents the ofttimes gruelling journey of bringing a song to life, making it a fascinating listen for longtime fans of Crass and newcomers alike. Mixed at Allen Road Studios in November 2020, the album carries added meaning beyond the music — all profits from the release were donated to Refuge, a UK charity dedicated to supporting victims of domestic violence.
