Description
PETE SEEGER and company - HALLY WOOD, LEE HAYS, LOU KLEINMAN and DOCK REESE - perform these rousing, topical songs, forthrightly protesting bigotry and hatred. During World War II and increasingly afterward, these artists threw a powerful light on American hypocrisy.
Mississippi Senator Theodore Bilbo, a notorious bigot, deservedly gets the Seeger treatment in "Listen, Mr. Bilbo," in which he is playfully reminded of the immigrant status of EVERYBODY in America, including HIM!
ASCH 301: "LISTEN, MR. BILBO" and "THIS OLD WORLD"
ASCH 302: "THE RANKIN TREE" and "ROLL THE UNION ON"
These original 1944 Asch records, 301 & 302, are in slightly worn but eminently playable V++ condition
PHOTOS: 1) Pete Seeger; 2) notorious Mississippi Senator Theodore Bilbo.
*****
These records come from my private collection, which I have been accumulating since 1967, and now am downsizing! My highest priority in these eBay auctions is to give you the best possible idea of a record’s true condition and aesthetic value. I always post at least four clear images, showing the record fore and aft, a close-up of the label, and the whole disc, warts and all. If my purple prose won’t cut it, the pictures will! Shipping is done with expert care. Your record will brave Media Mail in a stout corregated box, between four sheets of cardboard and a couple of “packers.” I hope you are amused by these descriptions, and by the quality of service being offered.
An Unsolicited Testimonial!: "Superbatone is one of the coolest people on eBay - seriously. An excellent source for music, knowledge, and whimsy, and an asset to the community who cares about music and its preservation. It goes without saying that he is an expert in all facets surrounding 78’s and their content."
