Have You Thought About Freedom Lately? (MP3)

As the last hours of the festive Independence Day long weekend pass us by, here's an appropriate record for the holiday. It's a piece of patriotic drivel written by someone named Michael Quirk, and titled "Have You Thought About Freedom Lately?". Quirk himself recorded the piece at some point, and his version can be found a few places on the internet. But for this release (which the record label oddly shows to have a running time which is over a minute more than its true length), the artist is Eddie Paul:

(Whether or not this is the same Eddie Paul who is well known for customizing cars... I have no idea.)

For the flip side, Michael Quirk performed another one of his compositions himself, titled "Lonely Men in Blue":

Here's a another jingoistic 'song' recorded in Adelaide, South Australia, in 1967.
