A record that screams out to be digitized

Continuing what is apparently “Soviet Day” here on Absurd Intellectual, here’s a fantastic find from a bargain hunter:

The coolest record of the day: The History Of The Soviet Union in Ballad & Song. Put out by Folkway Records in 1964. I loved look: the bright red cover with the old hammer & sickle stamps, and the crazy song titles: “Boldly, Comrades, In Step,” “Tortured to Death in Captivity,” and “The Red Army is the Most Powerful of All.” The record seemed like a window into a different time and place. Such a random find, but one that sticks with me more than all of the others.

All that for a buck. Da.
