Original AFRTS transcription LP RL‑43‑2, pairing Dennis Coffey’s Goin’ For Myself with King Curtis’s Everybody’s Talkin’. 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 Coffey’s funk‑infused guitar interpretations of contemporary hits alongside King Curtis’s soulful saxophone renditions.
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 only faint rubs, minor sleeve scuffs, and a couple of very fine hairlines. Playback is clean overall, with faint surface noise noted primarily at the start of Side 1 and believed to be equipment‑related rather than disc defects. No skips, tracking issues, or audible tonearm vibration were observed. Labels show matching “180” markings, minor staining and discoloration, light ridge wear, and faint scratches, but remain legible. The generic sleeve is VG with matching “180” markings, faint staining, minor fading, light ring wear, and a small delamination along one edge; no true seam splits. Playback may vary depending on equipment; 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 wear, sleeve markings, 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.
