Wow I haven't heard this this since 63. After JFK died, my parents removed it from our house, saying it was in bad taste to listen to it again.
I remember hearing the JFK heard this record and liked it. You never could do anything like this today.

This was the craziest thing I heard it years ago: Vaughn Meade had JFK down cold.

You had to be alive then. HYETERICAL!

Great to hear this again, a fond childhood memory. One striking thing -- it is *very* funny, but the humor is never mean-spirited. That's a change in our culture that is not really progress.

This is just simply AWESOME!!! Thank you for posting...havent heard this since I was a child. I saw where copies of this were going for 300 bucks on Ebay...ouch!

@Jeff98177 This LP's been a staple of garage sales and flea markets for years. You can pick up a copy almost any weekend for $1 or less. Ebay usually has a load of them. I was lucky enough to sell volumes 1 & 2 for $10 on Ebay a few years back.

I remember the nuns actually played this in the classrooms for us to listen to. Being the first Catholic president was a real big deal to us

I found this record in an antique store several years ago. I imagine a lot of people got rid of their copies after the assassination.
-
@nealbfinn You must be joking, the entire presidential parody business launched from this album.
The sad part is that Vaughn Meader hardly ever worked again, his career was destroyed after the assassination.

My parents had this album and we listened to it in the early 70s and my Dad explained the jokes to my older brother and he would explain it to us. Then he learned to do imitations of all of them! "Family ,Family, Family...Jack, there's just too much family"

ROFL at 4:44! When he does RFK's voice, I thought I was going to fall off this chair!
My First Family 1 album is probably kinda scratchy too. I see Amazon has 1 and 2 on a single CD, in mono (as opposed to stereo). One person complained about the "flat" audio quality. but regardless, would sure love to hear that second album!
THANK YOU so much for posting this!

I also had and still have this album. Mine, however, would not be pleasant to listen to due to excessive scratches. How did you keep yours so clean for over 40 years? There are no scratches to be heard.

I never had the original, I'm only 25. It came from a digital copy.
