[78-L] HANS EISLER in Hollywood ?

[Philip Fukuda]

Much earlier, Hans Eisler recorded a communist (or socialist) work for the Timley Recording Company. Probably late 1930s in New York. I sold my copy not too long ago on ebay. Has Rise Up / In Praise Of Learning performed by the New Singers, with Lan Adomian conducting and Mordecai Bauman singing. Hanns Eisler on piano for Rise Up, Marc Blitzstein on the reverse. Cartoon label artwork. 

Quite the appropriate piece (not) for Tax Day as you're writing a big check to Uncle Sam.
