STUCK IN THE VINYL AGAIN - ZZ TOP/ THE ROSE SOUNDTRACK

[maggot]

Great Monday morning gang and welcome to the Memorial Day 2023 selection from Stuck In The Vinyl Again . Today we take the time to remember and honor all our Military who have paid the ultimate price for our Freedom, with their lives. Thank you and God Bless. Our record today is one from American Forces Radio And Television Service, which since it's inception in 1942, has provided has provided entertainment on both radio and television for service members and their Families, stationed overseas.

Using Discogs, I was able to find several records in this series, but not this one. Judging from the release dates of the albums, I believe it was probably released in late 1979/early 1980 on the American Forces Radio And Television Service label, which is a division of the Department Of Defense. All these records were to be recalled or destroyed after the service transitioned to cassettes in the mid 1980s.

This record is split with selection's from ZZ Top's Deguello on one side and selections from The Rose soundtrack (starring Bette Midler) on the other side.  I've deemed the side that reads P- 18857 as the A side and P - 18858 as it's B- side.
