Hmm, the only thing I can find online is a single 45 called "America's Sweethearts" from 1966, but no actual LP. Also, no youtube. :(

Don Edwards, who became dean of the California delegation during 32 years in the House and was one of the chamber’s most steadfast defenders of civil rights and civil liberties, died Oct. 1 at his home in Carmel, Calif. He was 100.
A wealthy title company executive, former FBI agent and onetime president of the California Young Republicans, Mr. Edwards defied the expectations of an establishmentarian, becoming a liberal crusader, slayer of the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) and advocate for laws to promote the First Amendment and prohibit racial discrimination.
Although he remained on friendly terms with many Republicans, Mr. Edwards said he was persuaded to switch his political affiliation because of HUAC excess in the 1950s and his distaste for the isolationist wing of the GOP. He was elected to the House in 1962 from a newly formed district that included San Jose and a swath of the San Francisco Bay area and set out to focus his legislative efforts on fighting what he considered constitutional abuses.

Michael Meacher MP

Can anybody remember what the source of Jaz Coleman's massive beef with him was?
― suffeeciant attreebution (aldo), Wednesday, 21 October 2015 14:15 (ten years ago)
something to do with Meacher's flirtation with 9/11 trutherism?
― soref, Wednesday, 21 October 2015 14:22 (ten years ago)
jaz is teacher, funk is the meacher iirc
― Haino Corrida (NickB), Wednesday, 21 October 2015 14:23 (ten years ago)
lol i screwed that up
jaz is THE teacher obv etc
I think you're right (xpost to soref), I just remember quite a few unintelligible onstage rants about him.
― suffeeciant attreebution (aldo), Wednesday, 21 October 2015 14:26 (ten years ago)
IIRC he was agreeing with Meacher about 9/11, not having a beef with him.
― schlep and back trio (anagram), Wednesday, 21 October 2015 15:03 (ten years ago)
Indeed, was having some difficulty with the idea of Jaz Coleman as a voice of reason and rationality using the platform afforded him by music to debunk conspiracy theories.
