Just in time for Veterans Day, this LP is bright and shiny and the labels are sharp and clear of any markings.  I grade it as only VG because there is one surface scratch on Side 2 that looks like a problem (it goes across from run-in groove to run-out groove) BUT it has no effect on the play; a surface scratch only).  The inner sleeve is generic.  The jacket is in its original shrink wrap and is sharp and clear but shows some wear at the edges; GOOD+.

Produced by HISTORY IN SOUND sometime in the 1980’s, this recording, cat.# HIS-1941, was produced for the Historical Societies of America.

This record has actual broadcasts and patriotic war songs that are meant to evoke the feeling of purpose and unity that existed during WWII.  Just look at this tracklist:
