The original album was produced by Moses Asch, for his Asch record label, and contained songs performed mostly in Spanish (a few in English), by members of the Almanac Singers, including Pete Seeger, Bess Lomax, Baldwin Hawes and Tom Glazer. These were tunes sung by the antifascist volunteers during the Spanish Civil War. The original record set consisted of three 78 records and a total of 6 songs.

The Busch recordings comprise the A side of this record, and the first song on the B side. The final four tracks on the B side are the Seeger recordings. 10 Tracks: Side A: - Band 1: The Peat-Bog Soldiers - Band 2: Hans Beimler - Band 3: Song of the International Brigades - Band 4: Freedom - Band 5: Song of the United Front.
