Original US release album cover - album covers are fair use. Picture scanned by me Ian Dunster from original US 45 rpm single.

For all to know, this photo was not taken in Cambodia! It was surreptitiously shot during the second uprising of the Democratic Revolution in Thailand in 1976.

The first revolution in 1973 had been a moderate success in overtaking the state and demanding a democracy.

However, the main student body involved between 1973 and 1976's had agreed to terms unacceptable by the Thai people. In 1976, another protest ensued, and this protest lashed out at the specific members of the student body who had cut unfair deals with the government in their own interests.

This photo shows an angry member of the mob ( most likely a student; and even more likely a technical student-they were rumoured to be the most aggressive fighters, using their right angle rules as maces) hitting a lynched member of the student body with a folded aluminium chair. I have yet to find out who took the photograph.

The riots were quelled, and the government accepted to change its status and recognise a new democracy for Thailand.
