Released as a stopgap in between the WORKER'S PLAYTIME and DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME albums, THE INTERNATIONALE is a seven-track EP structured around a Bragg-penned rewrite of the 1871 anthem commemorating the fall of the Paris Commune. Though this is not Bragg's most varied release (the political orientation of each track is very blunt), it does make for a very focused and poignant listening experience. The music is very stripped down (especially after the instrumentation of the previous record), drawing attention specifically to the lyrics.
Three of the songs--the title track, "I Dreamed I Saw Phil Ochs Last Night," and "The Marching Song of the Covert Battalions"--feature Bragg lyrics, though only the last features his music. The other four tracks are all covers, including "Blake's Jerusalem," a musical rendition of one of William Blake's better-known poems. The standout track of the collection is "The Red Flag," a reel complete with controlled peels of guitar, which was originally written in 1889, but survives the this day as the anthem of England's Labour Party (albeit in an altered form).

Editorial reviews
Included in AP's 10 Essential Political-Revolution Albums - ...On this collection of socialist songs...Bragg lends his voice to a century of hard-fought causes....His voice is perseverance; his guitar, simple victory.
