Track C5 from the 1985 release Desert in Motion by the New Dawn Production Company (NDPC 8/85). Any song telling fascists to eat dirt is a good song according to me. Especially when it sounds like R2D2. • Songs were uploaded to the Internet Archive by user Ilħna Karkariżi. • Provenance: 12 33 rpm discs ➡️ Ortofon Tonar-01558DN stylus ➡️ Q3USB ➡️ Focusrite Scarlett 4i4 Line-in ➡️ Cool Edit: WAV 16bit/44KHz ➡️ Cool Edit, normalization up to -1db per separate channel, DC Bias to 0% ➡️ Trader's Little Helper: Fix SBEs.

I think I mostly downloaded them from colnect and ebay. Sorry if I stole yours! They're just so cool! • As a sort-of backstory to why so much pro-Libya Maltese music exists, Malta decided the West was overrated after gaining independence (1964) from the United Kingdom, and then declaring itself a republic (1974) and turned towards the East -- the Non-Aligned countries -- those that were not aligned with NATO or the Warsaw Pact. This had the interesting effect of them making deals with people who made some... interesting deals. Like Colonel Muammar Qaddafi, the leader of The People's Socialist Arab Libyan Jamahiriya. In 1977, in exchange for Libyan oil and some cash for their move towards a socialized economy, they agreed (among other things) to allow Libya 1 hour 45 minutes usage of their medium-wave, and 3 hours of their shortwave broadcasts weekly. I haven't found an existing copy of any of these broadcasts, but if it's anything like Libya's homegrown Radio Jamahiriya, it's gonna be news from the Libyan perspective, interspersed with music. Probably this music! A lot of Malta's most popular stars ended up performing pro-Libya music, and I've been informed that this is because they paid extremely well.
