The Liberal Song, with Jo Grimond on the B-side

February 4, 2023 - 9:38 am

In 1964, the National League of Young Liberals (the party’s then youth wing) released The Liberal Song, sung by Brian Lee and accompanied on the B-side by a welcome message from Liberal Party leader Jo Grimond.

Enjoy:

And if you did enjoy, copies of the record are still on sale.

With thanks to Pete Dollimore for helping me digitise an original vinyl record.

1. It has something, certainly, though the words need updated.

   For a while around 1970 the Liberal PPBs were introduced by Glinka’s ‘Ruslan and Ludmilla’ overture, which modern readers might know better as the theme to ‘Cabin Pressure.’ Now that was a really rousing and inspiring theme tune, the like of which we could do with today.
