I'm thinning out my film music collection and offering some great scores at low prices.  NOTE: anyone buying four or more soundtracks--that is, four separate listings, not lots--will receive Free Shipping.  Otherwise, shipping in the U.S. is $4.00 for the first disc, $5.00 for two, or $6.00 for three.  With four or more purchases in the same mailing you get free shipping.

THIS AUCTION:

This is the Original Soundtrack for the film "Planet of the Apes" with a score composed and conducted by JERRY GOLDSMITH.  This is the 1968 original film, directed by the great Franklin J. Shaffner, and starring Charlton Heston.

This is the original 1968 release of the score, flat jacket (not the gatefold issue) and is New, Still SEALED.  It's Project 3 number PR 5023SD. 

RECORD GRADING:

For vinyl I visually inspect a record, and if there are scratches I play grade it.  Often even long scratches are on the surface of the grooves only and don't affect the sound, but I check anyway. 

MINT / SEALED: Must be absolutely perfect and un-played with the shrink wrap still sealed.

NM: Out of the jacket but looks un-played.  No visual marks other than fingerprints. 

VERY GOOD: A minimum of visual or audible imperfections, which should not detract much from your enjoyment of owning them.  Vinyl surface noise and some minor pops and clicks.

GOOD: The item is good enough to fill a gap in your collection until a better copy becomes available.  It will show definite signs of wear and tear, but records in good condition should play all the way through without skipping. 

If you want a number scale, think of MINT as 10, NM as 9, VG as 8, VG- as 7, G+ as 6, and G as 5.  I do not usually sell records below a 6.5 (VG-/G+) unless they are rare and collectable.

INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING:  None

MOVIE SOUNDTRACKS versus MOVIE STUDIOTRACKS:

In order to be a "soundtrack" release the music must be the same recording used on the film's soundtrack and heard by audiences in the theaters.  If it is another recording, done in a studio for commercial release and not the version used on the film's soundtrack, it is a "studiotrack." 

Many fine recordings are studiotracks.  My personal favorite version of "For Whom the Bell Tolls" is the Ray Heindorf studiotrack released in the 1950s.  But I will never call it a soundtrack.  It isn't.  

I am careful to accurately describe my listings and will not misrepresent the recordings because I am a serious collector.  Most sellers don't make the distinction.  Many "Music from . . ." albums are called soundtracks when they are not.  If it doesn't say "soundtrack" on the record it probably isn't.  The correct method, when unsure, is to call it a Film Score.
