Neighbors, A friend of mine is looking for an album (or a copy if it is out of print) of a recording called "Save the Children". It has an all star cast of Joan Baez, Hedy West, Mimi Farina, Janis Ian, Odetta, The Pennywhistlers, Barbara Dane, Malvina Reynolds, and Buffy St.Marie. Came out on Electra. I was sure that someone on the Cat would know about it. Any ideas??? Thanks, Dan

Dan, I believe the album to which you refer is this one that came out in 1967:

Save The Children: Songs From the Hearts of Women - 1967 - Women Strike for Peace Records W-001

Produced by Judy Collins and Ethel Raim Dunson, May 1967 for Women Strike For Peace - Cover illustration by Kaethe Kollwitz, Mother with Children, 1932

"This record was born out of a great frustration. What can we do as women to save the children, to stop the slaughter? We refuse to accept war with breakfast and atrocities with the evening meal. We ask with this record that you do all within your power to END ALL WARS." --- Judy Collins and Ethel Raim Dunson, May 1967

I have no idea where you might obtain a copy. I had one back when it was new, but haven't seen it in years. I'll take a look through my vinyl again to make sure it isn't there, and, meanwhile this will refresh the thread and maybe jog somone else's memory.
