$49.99
Original AFRTS transcription LP RL‑50‑1, pairing George Beverly Shea’s Amazing Grace with Tennessee Ernie Ford’s Aoffere With Me. Produced exclusively for U.S. service members and distributed to bases worldwide, AFRTS discs were never sold commercially. These pressings often show factory quirks and light inherent noise even when new.
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. This lighting is used to clearly show gloss, label condition, and surface details.

VG record / VG sleeve. AFRTS discs often have light factory noise, and most playback variations noted may be equipment‑related. Both sides show strong gloss with faint hairlines, minor sleeve scuff, and minimal wear. Side 1 has an audible sleeve‑scuff passage for roughly 35 rotations at the start of Track 1; otherwise only faint, consistent surface noise believed to be player‑related. Side 2 has a similar sleeve‑scuff passage across most of Track 1, with light surface noise throughout. No skips or tracking issues. Labels marked “195” and are clean with only minimal wear. Sleeve is marked “195” to match, with small tears at the center hole, faint staining, and light ring wear; no splits. Playback notes may vary depending on equipment. Sold as‑is.

Grading Note: AFRTS transcription discs were utilitarian pressings intended for chapel and broadcast use. Light inherent noise, minor cosmetic anomalies, and short audible scuff passages are common even on well‑preserved examples.
