"Go Home, You Foreign Communist!"

My friend's great-grandfather was a union leader, an ultra-nationalist, and a music teacher. In the 70s, he ran a program called The Black Talent Workshop in Watts, where he helped train and record black musicians. He had them record songs he'd written, and one of them was called "Go Home, You Foreign Communist." It is a hard soul jam, and the actual lyrics include stuff like "I'm a hard heart, and I DON'T like COMMIES!"I recorded it from the only copy he knows of, a cassette copy of the original 45, and you can download or listen here.

    I'm not sure there isn't... it's just in my friend's attic somewhere.

    That is actually Al C. Bailey - Go On Home You Communist - Ron Paul Records

    The record itself is rare as shit.

    The other side of the record is actually really good too. The other side is a even better funk number.
