HISTORICAL REFERENCE SPECIFICS:

If the Bomb Falls: A Recorded Guide to Survival
[ 1961, TOPS Records ]

Released shortly after JFK's Civil Defense appeal to America in the pages of LIFE magazine, this chilling spoken word LP was issued complete with a bonus insert manual on how to construct a "Family Fallout Shelter."

SIDE ONE, "What to Do In Case of Nuclear Attack," opens with a CONELRAD alert signal and is followed by the no-nonsense narration of David Wiley: "The threat of nuclear warfare is a threat to all of us. How can we live with this threat? Our best life insurance may be summed up in four words: Be Alert, Stay Alert. This will take some doing on your part. It will take ingenuity, it will take fervor, it will take the desire to survive. And it need not take a lot of money. All you'll need is shelter and common sense."

SIDE TWO, "Supplies Needed for Survival," offers a litany of items required to wait out World War III: "...cups, napkins, matches, pocket knife, battery-powered radio and extra batteries, human waste can, recreational and spiritual supplies, a bible, books, cards and games... By all means provide some tranquilizers to ease the strain and monotony of life in a shelter. A bottle of 100 should be adequate for a family of four. Tranquilizers are not a narcotic and are not habit forming. Ask a doctor for his recommendation."

Wiley concludes the album by intoning "No one knows if you'll ever need a shelter, but in this atomic age it's wise to be prepared. The best advice your government can give you is Alert Today, Alive Tomorrow."

RECORD:

Strong VG+ both vinyl and labels.  A very rare record of historical significance.

COVER:

Cover is strong VG+ to VG++.  Seams are in decent shape with some cracking - spine is in great shape.  Lower right front corner bumped and small fray.  Really excellent shape overall.  Includes the rare survival guide booklet.  Snap this up if interested - it just doesn't show up at all and this is the only one I have seen in the flesh.
