Released to mark the 25th anniversary of the start of the Spanish Civil War in 1936, Folkways Records' 1961 LP, Songs of the Spanish Civil War, Vol. 1, combines the contents of two albums of 78 rpm records originally issued in the '40s, Six Songs for Democracy (Keynote Records, July 1940) and Songs of the Lincoln Brigades (Asch Records, 1944). The latter, taking up Side One of this disc, is a collection of six songs recorded in March 1944 by Pete Seeger (on leave from the U.S. Army) and three of his fellow folk musicians, Tom Glazer, Baldwin "Butch" Hawes, and Bess Lomax (who later married Hawes). Side Two contains the six tracks from the Keynote album that was actually recorded in Spain during the conflict in June 1938. "Authorized recording," is meant to cast aspersions on an earlier LP reissue of some of this same material, Stinson Records' Songs of the Lincoln and International Brigades. Typical of Folkways, this version is much better annotated, with an extensive booklet containing liner notes and lyrics.
