Various – A Golden Treasury of Famous Speeches
A fascinating historical spoken-word compilation featuring original recordings and recreations of some of the most influential speeches of modern history. This LP brings together voices that shaped the 19th and 20th centuries — including wartime leaders, presidents, revolutionaries, and philosophers.
An unusual and collectible piece, especially appealing to historians, educators, political enthusiasts, and collectors of archival recordings. Pressed on the Golden Records (GR) label, LP 80. Vinyl assumed VG+. Sleeve shows visible age wear, edge fraying, and staining consistent with photos.
