'''Corpus Christi Records''' is a British [[independent record label]] started by some of the members of [[Crass]] and their recording engineer and business partner [[John Loder (sound engineer)|John Loder]], to release records by artists who did not perhaps fit in with some of the stricter ideals of the [[Crass Records]] label.
Several of the artists on the label had debuted with 7-inch single/EP releases on Crass Records, but Corpus Christi was used for future releases.<ref name="noclass">{{cite web |url=http://www.noclass.co.uk/crass.html |title=No Class Interview: Penny Rimbaud |accessdate=5 April 2008 |work=No Class Fanzine }}</ref> According to Crass' [[Penny Rimbaud]], the label was set up to allow artists who had started on the Crass label to set up their own record deal with Loder of [[Southern Studios]] under Crass' guidance.<ref name="noclass" /> Some of the artists on the label, however, such as [[UK Decay]], [[Icons of Filth]], and the American band [[Crucifix (band)|Crucifix]] were signed by Loder without any prior involvement with Crass.<ref name="noclass" />
The label was active between 1982 and 1987, and its releases were regularly placed highly in the [[UK Indie Chart]], with [[Conflict (band)|Conflict]]'s ''It's Time to See Who's Who'' LP topping the indie album chart in 1983. The label reappeared in the late 2000s to put out a compilation of two early Conflict 7-inch EPs on a 12-inch.
