Scarce Armed Forces Radio and Television Service transcription disc issued for U.S. military broadcast only, never sold commercially. This SP‑1553 / SP‑1554 program features Warren Barker and His Orchestra performing Music of Desire - lush exotica and Latin‑tinged orchestral arrangements originally issued by Warner Bros. in 1960. Pressed in limited numbers for service libraries, AFRTS discs are prized for their unique programming and non‑commercial distribution.
