Oktober - Die Pariser Commune (1977, vinyl rip)

"DIE PARISER COMMUNE" is a recording by "Oktober" released in 1977. This political rock opera was released on the Antagon label like the "Schmetterlinge"-recordings featured on this blog.

The austrian folk-rock band "Schmetterlinge" dedicated a part of their "Proletenpassion" (1976) to the Paris Commune and inspired the polit-rock band "Oktober" to deal with this topic on an entire double album.

The Paris Commune (French: La Commune de Paris) was a government that briefly ruled Paris from March 18 (more formally, from March 28) to May 28, 1871. It existed before the split between anarchists and marxists had taken place, and it is hailed by both groups as the first assumption of power by the working class in industrial Western Civilization. Debates over the policies and outcome of the Commune contributed to the break between those two political groups.
