Three out of print books on the JFK assassination reissued from Mary Ferrell Foundation

The Mary Ferrell Foundation Press continues to bring classic books and government reports back into printed form. Today the MFF Press introduces these new titles:

• Post Mortem by Harold Weisberg. In this book, Weisberg performs a postmortem on the JFK assassination medical evidence, and documents deceit and cover-up on the part of federal authorities.

• Never Again! by Harold Weisberg. Written in the 1990s, this was Harold Weisberg's last book on the JFK medical evidence, covering in detail the Journal of the American Medical Association controversy, and pointing an accusatory finger at the U.S. military.

• Covert Action in Chile, 1963 - 1973. Volume 7 of the Hearings of the Church Committee focused on the use of covert action by the CIA in the overthrow of the elected Chilean government of Salvador Allende.

Oswald's Ghost Airs on PBS

This is a post originally posted on Mary Ferrell. Jan 15, 2008: PBS' American Experience is showing this week Oswald's Ghost, a film by Robert Stone which grapples with the the JFK assassination and its aftermath, but whose point of view is summed up by historian Robert Dallek: "How could someone as inconsequential as Lee Harvey Oswald have killed someone as consequential as John F. Kennedy?" This question, of course, assumes that he did. The film's positive reviews by the Boston Globe, LA Times, Dallas Morning News, and Miami Herald, are accompanied by less-than-enthusiastic response from those who know the JFK case better. Jim DiEugenio's review dissects the film's choice of topics and talking heads, and notes that Oswald's Ghost fails to even mention the House Select Committee on Assassinations and the Assassination Records Review Board (DiEugenio: "In other words, the body that literally almost doubled the amount of documentation available on the JFK case goes unnoticed in a film on that very case").

Mr. Love & Justice out in the U.S. on April 22nd

Billy's first new studio album in six years, Mr Love & Justice, is released in the UK by Cooking Vinyl on 3 March 2008 and by Anti- in North America on 22 April. Shock Records is releasing the album in Australia and New Zealand.

The album is being released in two versions: one features Billy Bragg and The Blokes; the second is a 2 CD deluxe version featuring the band version and the same songs performed by Billy solo.

It will be available to order direct from the Billy Bragg Shop very soon. Full track listing (same for band and solo discs) is:

01. I Keep Faith
02. I Almost Killed You
03. M For Me
04. The Beach is Free
05. Sing Their Souls Back Home
06. You Make Me Brave
07. Something Happened
08. Mr. Love & Justice
09. If You Ever Leave
10. O Freedom
11. The Johnny Carcinogenic Show
12. Farm Boy

The 12-track album has been produced by Grant Showbiz and features The Blokes, comprising the celebrated Ian McLagan - of Small Faces, Bob Dylan, The Faces and Rolling Stones fame - on Hammond organ and piano, with Ben Mandelson (lap steel guitar and bouzouki); Lu Edmonds (electric guitar and vocals); Martyn Barker (drums) and Simon Edwards (bass).

They are joined by the legendary Robert Wyatt, the guest vocalist on a track called 'I Keep Faith' recorded in South Thoresby, Lincolnshire. The collaboration came about when Bragg, in search of fresh rhubarb for a crumble, was in nearby Louth where he met Wyatt who lives in the town.

"I hadn't seen him since Red Wedge (the 1986 Labour Party youth vote initiative)," says Bragg. "He found me some rhubarb and then came along to the recording session and sang beautiful vocals to the chorus of 'I Keep Faith' – it was like angels singing!"
