Original AFRTS transcription LP RL‑3‑2, pairing Hugo Montenegro’s People… One to One with This Is Broadway, a sampler of stage and screen favorites performed by Ray Ellis, Floyd Cramer, Al Hirt, Henry Mancini, Peter Nero, and Melachrino. Produced exclusively for U.S. service members and distributed to bases worldwide, AFRTS discs were never sold commercially. Collectors prize these for their scarcity and unusual pairings – here showcasing Montenegro’s orchestral pop medleys alongside Broadway standards interpreted by leading arrangers and performers.
Photo Note: The circular “ring” visible in some images is only a reflection from the ring light used during photography. It is not present on the record or sleeve itself. Records are photographed under this lighting to highlight gloss, label clarity, and surface details as clearly as possible.

VG record / VG sleeve. Both sides retain strong gloss with faint scuffs and sleeve rubs. Playback is clean overall, with consistent light surface noise mostly at the start of tracks. Side 1 shows one audible defect for about 8 rotations at the start of Track 1, then plays clean. Side 2 has consistent but faint surface noise between tracks, believed to disappear on higher‑fidelity equipment. Labels marked “332” with minor scuffs, ink bleed, and light discoloration but remain legible. The generic AFRTS sleeve is VG with matching “332” markings, minor staining including a small water spot, faint fading, very small tear at edge, and light ring wear; no seam splits. Playback notes reflect evaluation on test equipment and may vary depending on setup. Sold as‑is.

Grading Note: AFRTS transcription discs are unique non‑commercial pressings, often showing quirks from their service use and occasional factory flaws. They frequently play best on higher‑end equipment. I grade conservatively and document anomalies such as label markings, sleeve wear, gloss wear, rubs, and playback notes so buyers know exactly what they’re getting. This approach avoids blanket condition claims and ensures accuracy, transparency, and trust in every listing.
