Notes

HERE'S TO VETERANS Program #1406
Created 1973 by the US Veterans' Administration
Catalogue # 72196
Mono recording

This is a fifteen-minute radio program that was sent to Veterans' Administration hospitals and centers, and to some radio stations across the US. It features four Beatles songs, with voice-over introductions recorded for the VA by Paul McCartney, interspersed with announcements telling veterans how they may apply for benefits. The guy who put this program together did some really terrible editing of Paul's intros, so they all sound stilted and unnatural. Nonetheless, there are not too many of these records in circulation, and of those, not too many of them are in the excellent condition this one is. The remaster is as clean as a whistle.
