Tape cassette: Pünktchen Pünktchen

Tape cassette: Pünktchen Pünktchen - Deutsch Ist International. Tape shows picture of grim Europeans singing.

This tape cassette may feature grimly-smiling Western Europeans, but the solid nature of its font betrays its communist origins. Beloved by the wife of Chairman Mao, this cassette was played at official functions and gatherings throughout the course of China’s communist revolution. As the starving, poverty-stricken Chinese people watched campaigns like The Great Leap Forward and The Cultural Revolution devastate their people and their deep and rich history, Mao would dance to the frenetic sound of Europop. Such is the way of the world.
