O Lord don't let 'em shoot us!
O Lord don't let 'em stab us!
O Lord no more swastikas!
O Lord no more KKK!

Name me someone who's ridiculous, Dannie.
Governor Faubus!
Why's he so sick & ridiculous?
He won't permit integrated schools

Then he's a fool! Boo! Nazi fascist supremists!
Boo! KKK (with your Jim Crow plan)

Name me a handful that's ridiculous, Dannie Richmond.
Faubus, Rockefeller, Eisenhower.
Why are they so sick & ridiculous?

2, 4, 6, 8: They brainwash & teach you hate.
HELLO, Hello.

@Richard_Littler - Always found it interesting that, as well as these amazing ⬜️⚫️🎶 #Columbia Records covers, S. ‘Neil’ Fujita was also behind the iconic #GraphicDesign of 📕 #TheGodfather. 🙂

@Richard_Littler I never knew Fujita designed an album cover for Glenn Gould - nice one 👍🏻

@Richard_Littler I've loved these for years partly because they matched the forward-looking nature of the music so well, but had no idea they were by the same artist. I'd assumed they were uncredited Mori / Klee pastiches. I really regret selling the Brubeck double album version for a pittance when I was skint :-(

@thf I literally almost rebought the Brubeck on vinyl last Saturday, but decided it against it at the last minute because the edition wasn't quite right (and I'd just spent far too much on other records!)

@Richard_Littler I had a similar thing with Mingus's Tijuana Moods... searching for years, then finding four versions. I was obsessed with the amazing tape splicing in Ysabel's Table Dance.

@Richard_Littler My fav is the Glenn Gould cover. They are all wonderful pieces of art though.
