Summary: Promotion of this CD is false.
Review: I ordered this CD expecting the full length audio of the listed speeches. They are mostly segments. I compared the CD's version JFK's "Ich Bin Ein Berliner" speech to a video of the speech. The CD version sounds like a Teddy Kennedy remake. Many of JFK's pronunciations on the video do not match those on the CD. There is an obvious over-dubb of JFK's German attempt at "Let them come to Berlin." MLK's "I Have a Dream" speech is not the one delivered in Washington DC as advertised. In the CD version, MLK says, "I have a dream this afternoon" not "I have a dream today" as it shows him saying in my video of the Washington speech. He also remarks, "I have a dream this afternoon that right here in Detroit..." The CD insert reads, "Ronald Reagan: 'Berlin Wall'." I assumed this would be the speech from the Berlin Wall (as the insert says) where Reagan said, "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall." Instead, the CD has a two-minute segment from an American TV address in which he tells of seeing the Berlin Wall. The CD is not what I expected or would have paid for had I known the true content.
