Annotation
Country song "Chicago 7" (Trip Universal Records # T-67) by Warren Farren, released in 1971, took a more familiar path than the Walt Wilder single above, presenting a patriotic, anti-protest perspective, often seen in the country music genre. However, even this takes an especially harsh position, declaring that those arrested outside the 1968 Democratic National Convention were the "seven sons of hate" whom had "made a deal with Satan", and who "sow the seed of poison" throughout the land. It claimed that the seven deliberately went to Chicago to cause trouble, and tear the flag down. The narrator praised those who fought for their country in Vietnam, and that there were still good people in the country. Released in Miami, Florida, USA. Composed by W. Farren, J. Tullos, and B. Wells. Produced by Bud Reneau and Warren Farren. It was also released on the New York-based label Evolution (# 1035).

About the artist
Unknown - "Chicago 7" b/w "I've Got Love" (Trip Universal T-67 and Evolution 1035 promo, 1970, folk/country), pressed by Southern Plastics - pressing geography. A much later Warren Farren (a 2000s CD Baby album; a 2009 Bertie Higgins co-write) is not asserted as the same man across the 39-year gap. Distinct from row 462's "Chicago's 7".
