$

60

Original AFRTS Station Library transcription featuring Tony Bennett arranged and conducted by Torrie Zito, orchestral selections by Andre Kostelanetz, Andy Russell arranged by Mort Garson, and a full Julie London program on Side 2. This RL‑series disc is exceptionally clean, with only a few faint hairlines and minimal gloss wear. Playback revealed no audible defects aside from the light, inherent surface noise typical of AFRTS micro‑groove pressings. Labels are clean with only minor ridge wear and slight discoloration. Sleeve shows multiple tears, adhesive failure, and delamination but remains intact.
Photo Note: Any circular “ring” visible in images is only a reflection from the ring light used during photography. It is not present on the record or sleeve.
