Description
Songs Against the Bomb
The record is in very good condition (clean, no obvious scratches but some light surface noise) and comes in the original dust sleeve (lined). The cover is intact but does show some discolouration as would be expected of an album of this age. Included is an 8 page booklet (A5 size) with 3 pages of history notes on CND and the peace marches and lyrics to four of the songs and other credits and notes on the songs.
Various Artists
