Where it came from
Released by the East German state-owned label ETERNA in 1973, this record is a quintessential artifact of Cold War political performance. It juxtaposes a spoken-word appeal by the American activist Angela Davis—recorded during her visit to the German Democratic Republic following her acquittal—with the finale of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony. The pairing was intended by state cultural officials to frame Davis’s struggle within a broader socialist narrative of international brotherhood and universal liberation.
The record serves as a stark example of how the GDR utilized Western cultural icons to bolster its own political ideology. By coupling Davis's rhetoric with the anthemic, humanist themes of Schiller's 'Ode to Joy' as set to music by Beethoven, the production sought to position the socialist state as the legitimate heir to the Enlightenment tradition. The design of the sleeve, typical of ETERNA’s austere mid-century aesthetic, prioritizes bold typography and documentary-style photography to emphasize the gravity of the political statement.
