Annotation
Double-side anti-war / protest single released in Belgium, and performed by Belgium opera singer John Geentjens, also with spoken-word extracts, organised by the De Humanitaire Werkgroup X, featuring two songs: "Lied voor Vietnam" ("Song for Vietnam") and "Gedichten: Denk eraan - een jongetje uit Vietnam" ("Poems: Remember - a Boy From Vietnam"). There is no date on the record - but probably released in the war years. The notes on the back called for sending medication "from the port of Antwerp" to "to help in Vietnam. The human need is greatest because of the endless war".
