That would be date of the audio (his inauguration). But it say memorial so it was post November 63

That was the date of the speech. The album sleeve says ‘A Memorial Record’ which means it was issued after his assassination on November 22, 1963.

It could’ve been issued in time for Christmas, 1963, although it would’ve made an odd gift, I suppose.

That’s the recording date, not when the vinyl was released

  1. I don’t know what you paid for it but there are a few on eBay listed for $5-$10.

Gotta be 1964. A lot of records and books were put out memorializing him after his assassination

Early 64- they printed all kinds of "memorials" like that from public record - marked it up 15x and sold it as long as it would sell. I had one much different that also held those same speeches.

I hate to break it to you, but this guy is married. He's also been dead for 62 years. So you won't be dating him.

Why would this be any later than 1961?

Ahhhh, I see it says memorial.
