See the photo for some of the artists listed for these 2 shows. If you collect these things you know, even in this condition, this is a SUPER RARE album. Your Elvis, Flying Burrito Brothers, OR whoever collection is not complete if you don’t have this album. A truly RARE and unique item to add to your Marvin Gaye, Creedence, or whoever collection, an item that doesn't appear too often (if ever!) on Ebay or anywhere else. You won’t see it on ebay again, and you know it, so bid accordingly.

A great inexpensive gift for that someone special in your life- YOU!

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FROM SOMEONE ELSE'S PAST AUCTION:  AFRTS (Armed Forces Radio & Television Services) records are EXTREMELY RARE.  They were pressed in limited quantities on custom labels for their stations at military installations around the globe.  In absolute numbers, they pressed very few copies which explain why they are difficult to find.  Most were issued without covers and each LP typically featured one side each from two different artists because of storage limitations at most stations.  Sometime the pairing of the two artists is almost bizarre.  Others, like these, are complete AFRTS radio shows with a number of artists.  The dates indicate these are from the Vietnam era.

 

AFRTS albums are typically sought by collectors because of their extreme rarity and their unique labels.  Don’t expect the vinyl to be in great condition because the records were often played and handled in less than ideal conditions.  However, most of the discs that I am offering play with acceptable levels of surface noise considering the history of the discs.  IF PLAYING CONDITION IS CRITICAL IN YOUR DECISION MAKING, YOU ARE MISSING THE POINT!    It’s time to make them available to collectors who will cherish such rare and interesting artifacts.

 

Keep an eye out for my auctions.  I’ll be running them throughout the weeks ahead.  I have over AFRTS 70 discs to offer from artists popular in the late 60’s and early 70’s including  Dylan, the Grateful Dead, The Who, Zappa, George Harrison, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Santana, CSNY, Rolling Stones and Jimi Hendrix to name a few.  I have decided to part with the albums because they have been sitting on a shelf for too long.
