Armed Forces Radio & Television Service LP



Here is sort of a unique item. I don`t really know anything about this type disc, except they were issued to be played over radio stations operated by the various branches of the service or at service recreation halls for entertaining the troops.
Hope you all enjoy it!



Scan of the paper sleeve it was issued in. I believe these were meant to be played only by the services a few times and then thrown away.

  3. These are the Albums that AFRTS DJs in other countries used for their local radio shows (like Good Morning Vietnam). There were also disks that had the network DJs and Grand Old Opry shows.

  4. Used to live in Springfield, Ohio many years ago. My dad managed Kincaid's music store there when he was out of town performing or recording. He went to our church ... but didn't sing in the choir!
