    I own the Song of New Nations on Roulette by De Paur. It is from MERCURY. and it is a Re-Release at that, not the original, not is it later than the supposed 1966 edition, it has 10 tracks, all clearly illegally with an illegal copyright by Dena Music Corp (This Shell Corp would take materials reissued after being washed though AU or the Rockefeller Center Archives, and I have other examples so I know. Roulette put out "Dizzie and Bird" supposedly in 82? I have to tell you, I did not know why my grandfather had that album. But they were in Chicago too, and I believe they played on this album. My grandfather was a stunning musician, and the album is LUCKILY inscribed "42, but states it is a reissue, with it's original number, RSD-536. My opinion is that it is from 1937, when Paul Robeson came back to America and knew African music well. They were friends, and went to get the musicians who could do the percussion right. It was not Glen Miller! I had the album examined professionally to see if it had true African polyrhythms on it, and it does. It is a MASTERWORK. The Material from Israel came from the 1937 production of Kurt Weill's MAJOR AND LOST WORK The Eternal Road. Yet the inscription of the reissue in 42, and the sort of imagry of the so called African, impressionistically drawn, is a far cry from the supposed Native African put on the cover as a real photo from Africa, which it was not, and it was a crime to take parts of Kurt Weill's opera, and attach them to the later album. Finally, I own JJ Shubert's initials from various sources. The mono Mercury edition is initialed by JJ. just look. I have been holding half of that opera for 50 years. I have found enough to put most of it back together. These works are fraudulent, but I will produce for all a true ing of the history of the real man and most of his work.
