Design: Note the white eyes and lips of the black youth, which makes him look like a refugee from an 1890s minstrel show.

History: Label scan courtesy of UK collector and musicologist Bill Dean-Myatt, who notes that this was an East German government-sponsored event, the label design being typical of Communist propaganda.
