You may note, on Posike, that the albums went for high prices in the years
2007 and 2008. And since, the prices have dropped drastically. It could well
be that the high bids came from overseas.
This album used to be in demand in Germany for a long time, back in the
1970s to 1990s, because these anti-nazi / anti-dictatorship / anti-war texts
are by Berthold Brecht and the music is by Hanns Eisler, not forgetting
freedom fighter Ernst Busch as a director and producer.
In its importance this would be like a 1940 U.S. anti-war / black civil rights
album with texts by Ernest Hemingway and music by George Gershwin,
sung by Woody Guthrie, recorded and published overseas.
