Comments and Reviews

W.B.lbl 30th Jun 2023		{Images #3314559 & 3314560} is a Capitol Scranton pressing, with lacquers cut by Capitol's New York studios - and label fonts from Keystone Printed Specialties Co., Inc. I actually have that version.
edlongus SUBS 23rd Jun 2023		OK, I've uploaded a scan of the back cover and labels from my thrift store copy. As I humbly said earlier, I completely doubt that this album was written, produced and released the SAME day that President Kennedy was assassinated. The article in the Billboard Magazine link I provided below said the album was 2 be shipped on Monday, 02 December 1963. Now I may be wrong, but this entry needs some corrections/updates. Based on my scans, this is a 2-sided album, the track titles should be 'Part 1' / 'Part 2', I think the label should be corrected 2 Premier (already mentioned by GimmeVinyl), and there IS a writer listed on the labels (Martin Plissner), which I woulda added 2 the 'Composer' field above. I'm pretty sure Mr. Plissner didn't write the original presidential speeches, just the script 4 this album. But again, I could be wrong?!? ♥
edlongus SUBS 21st Dec 2022		I saw a copy of this at a thrift store over the weekend. I find it highly unlikely that this album was released on 22 November 1963. This album is mentioned on Page 6 of the 07 December 1963 issue of Billboard Magazine as being released "late last week".
23skidoo 11th Sep 2022		I have a Canadian release on the Masterseal label, A Memorial Tribute - I don't think it's the same production as this (different cover, etc) but if anyone know different, please feel free to link the two.
