Radio Prague: 1965 20th Anniversary of the Liberation of Czechoslovakia 7″ record

In 1965 on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the liberation of Czechoslovakia Radio Prague offered their listeners a free copy of a 45rpm record they’d produced. There were 5 versions issued with commentaries in German, English, French, Italian and Spanish. Information and images here, at the time of writing there are two copies of the French edition for sale from record dealers.

I’ve digitised my copy of the English one I received.

Side One has a recording of their interval signal at the time and the Communist Anthem Forward Left it is taken from.

Side Two The Road to Freedom has an account of the liberation of Czechoslovakia in early May 1945 and the role of Radio Prague during it with recordings of their broadcasts, including one in English, at the time.
