Description

The original Star Wars soundtrack vinyl double LP comes complete with attached booklet inside and t-shirt order form (Only $5.00 for a t-shirt back then!).  The vinyl plays great and looks great, so I boldly give it a NM condition.  I'll call the cover/sleeve a VG+ to EX since it's easy to get some ring wear on a black album, plus the attached booklet is a little loose, which I tried to capture in the photos, as well as a few different lighting shots of the cover.  You can judge for yourself.  Thanks for looking!


John Williams' score for Star Wars was recorded over eight sessions at Anvil Studios in Denham, England on March 5, 8–12, 15 and 16, 1977. The score was performed by the London Symphony Orchestra with Williams himself conducting. The score was orchestrated by Williams's frequent associate Herbert W. Spencer, who also orchestrated The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. The score was recorded by engineer Eric Tomlinson and edited by Kenneth Wannberg, and the scoring sessions were produced by Star Wars director George Lucas and supervised by Lionel Newman, head of 20th Century Fox's music department.

The film premiered on May 25, 1977 and by late summer a disco version of the film's theme by Meco became America's number one song. In 2005, the American Film Institute named the original Star Wars soundtrack as the most memorable score of all time for a US film.[1] In 2004, it was preserved by the Library of Congress into the National Recording Registry, calling it "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant." In 2016, the album will be re-released by Sony Classical Records on vinyl, CD, and digital formats alongside Williams' other Star Wars soundtracks.
