The International P.E.A.C.E. Benefit Compilation,[nb 1] commonly referred to as the P.E.A.C.E. compilation,[4] retitled in 1997 as P.E.A.C.E./War, by combining the legends on its front and back cover, for its reissue on CD,[nb 2] is a compilation double album first released in 1984 by R Radical Records,[nb 3][5][6] the label run by MDC frontman Dave Dictor,[1][2] in association with San Francisco Bay Area punk fanzine Maximumrocknroll. The "P.E.A.C.E." in the album title is a backronym for "Peace, Energy, Action, Cooperation, Evolution".[4]
Overview
P.E.A.C.E. features 55 hardcore punk acts from around the world, including such stalwarts as Dead Kennedys, Crass, Subhumans, Butthole Surfers, and MDC themselves.[2][7] 30 of the acts were from outside the United States, and all of the acts featured frequently wrote and recorded left-leaning topical music (with the lone exception of the Butthole Surfers, who came from a similar political position but did not normally deal with political issues in their music). Eight of the acts originated from Italy, which had been sprouting anarchist punk bands such as Cheetah Chrome and the Motherfuckers, Contrazione and RAF Punk (all represented on the album) for quite some time. The cover art was created by San Francisco artist Dana F. Smith.
Maximumrocknroll's main contribution to the project, other than assisting in recruiting acts to participate on the double album, was in the assemblage of a 72-page magazine-sized insert featuring several pages on the topics of nuclear disarmament, imperialism, radiation, pollution, and political demonstrations.[2]
All of the profits from the album, according to a primitive obi strip-style insert shrunkwrapped to the original double vinyl release, were slated for various anti-nuclear groups and activities worldwide.[4]
The CD reissue
In 1997, the indie label New Red Archives re-released the album as a double CD set under the title P.E.A.C.E./War,[nb 2][2][8] adding five tracks from artists on their roster to the end of disc two.[2] The reissue does not include a reproduction of the first release's booklet, and, since its early name was changed, it is not known if the benefit aspect of the original album still holds.
Re-release
Dave Dictor along with Grimace Records re-released this compilation in vinyl, CD, and digital format in 2020 [9][10] All online streaming revenues are being donated to Covid-19 relief, via a Mutual Aid strategy implemented by Anarchist Organization Mutual Aid Disaster Relief.[11][1
