Annotation — 1968 Chicago Seven / Eight Songs
Documentary record, with the track "Antiwar Demonstration" (Scholastic Records # FS 12004) - field recordings and interviews from Chicago, as protesters hand in their draft cards - possibly during the 1968 demonstration, but unknown. Contains religious sentiment. Back of the sleeve said "At a peace rally in front of City Hall in Chicago, demonstrators tell why they have turned in their draft cards - and why they are opposed to the war in Viet Nam. One tells of his encounter with a draft board. Another, a young man who hopes to be a priest, tells why - even at the risk of jail - he puts loyalty to his religion above loyalty to country. Some bystanders comment on the demonstration. One of them is a policeman, who talks about the legality of the demonstration"
