Various - Kennedy
Four days that shook the world
RPM122 |
 There is no doubt that the murder of John F. Kennedy, the 35th President of The United States, on November 22nd 1963. inflicted a wound so deep on the American psyche that even now, thirty years later, it is still not fully healed. The vivid, startling and moving recordings on this disc, originally compiled from more than 85 hours of audio material, should be heard by anyone with the slightest interest in the controversy surrounding the assassination. On the spot reports from newsmen stationed along the route of the motorcade capture the chaos and horror of JFK's death, the anger and dismay of accused assassin Oswald's arrest, and the sombre, almost unreal atmosphere of Kennedy's funeral. The terrifying and tragic events are brought into sudden sharp focus by the immediacy of these recordings. No-one who has heard FOUR DAYS THAT SHOCKED THE WORLD has not been moved by it. The inlay, with a detailed break down of the contents, contains historical notes and front page reproduction of a newspaper from the time.
