Turntable 1965

A couple months ago, I found a record made by the Associated Press. It was the top news of 1965, in sound.

The Voting Rights Act, just struck down by the Supreme Court. The Social Security Act, authorizing Medicare, passed over strenuous objections of “socialized medicine.” The creation of the NEA and Headstart. Immigration, truth in packaging, high-speed mass transit, mental health facilities, housing acts, higher education acts. And of course, Vietnam, which had just turned a corner, beginning systematic bombing campaigns.

This odd Valentine's Day show is a mix of synth sounds and DJing this record.
