Annotation — 1968 Chicago Seven / Eight Songs
Compilation of speeches by former Mayor of Chicago Daley, including the track "1968" (NBC Records # WMAQ-670), about the demonstrations outside the Democratic National Convention. The back of the LP sleeve said: "here...there is the celebrated shoot-to-kill statement of riot-seared 1968". Note that the producer used the biased and misleading description "celebrated" to describe the Chicago '68 events.
