A record made by the Communist Party cell inside RAI's Turin production centre, self-released with the section's own name as label: a document of the years when the PCI had an organised presence in the state broadcaster and used the studios after hours. The title is Brecht ("the simple thing that is hard to do," from In Praise of Communism), and the contents mix song, spoken word and documentary in the manner of the canzone politica records of the period.
We have not found it documented anywhere else, which for an object produced inside a national broadcaster is itself remarkable. Turin, seventies, private pressing.
