1960s AFRTS Jazz Charles Aznavour George Shearing Armed Forces Transcription LP:
$49.99
AFRTS RL‑41‑7 transcription disc featuring a remarkable lineup: Rod McKuen (arr. Anita Kerr), Charles Aznavour (arr. Gordon Jenkins), Robert Goulet (arr. Marty Manning & Irwin Kostal), and George Shearing with Quintet & Orchestra. Issued exclusively for U.S. military broadcast in the 1960s, these non‑commercial pressings were never sold to the public. This copy is unusually clean for an AFRTS disc, with minimal surface noise and strong visual condition. A desirable piece for collectors of vocal pop, easy listening, Broadway, and AFRTS broadcast history.
