John Fitzgerald Kennedy: A Memorial Album set a record for album sales. A total of 4 million copies sold in the first 6 days of its release. The album, released on the Premier label, included recordings of some of Kennedy's most memorable speeches, as well as memorial tributes to the president broadcast in the aftermath of his assassination on November 22, 1963.



The recordings included excerpts from his inaugural address and his campaign debates with Richard Nixon as well as highlights from speeches on a variety of topics from civil rights to space to the Cuban Missile Crisis of October 1962. Some of Kennedy's most enduring quotes were captured on the album including "ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country" (from his inaugural) and "ich bin ein Berliner" (translated as "I too, am a Berliner") from a speech he delivered at the Berlin Wall during the height of the Cold War.



This is a rare, collectible, original "A Memorial Album" for US President John F. Kennedy.
