RCA Victor is releasing “The Kennedy Wit,” an album which captures the humor displayed by the late President during the 1960 campaign and during his abbreviated term in office.

Material was selected by the best-selling book of the same title by Bill Adler. Introduction is by Adlai Stevenson, and David Brinkley does the narration.

Colpix Records is re-releasing “Four Days That Shocked The World,” an album produced late last year and released earlier this year in association with United Press International. The actual voices and sounds of November 22-25, 1963, are taken from UPI tapes. A booklet, “The Murder Of The Young President,” written by UPI’s White House correspondent, Merriam Smith, accompanies the album. END
