Countess From Hong Kong

LP (Item 612309) Decca, 1967 — Condition: Sealed
Gatefold
(Stereo pressing, still sealed with a small cutout hole and a fairly large hole from sticker removal. Cover has some marks from sticker removal where exposed and is bumped at the top left corner.)

Sealed

This is what it says, that the record is still held fast in shrink-wrap. We tend to be pretty suspicious about these things, so if the shrink-wrap doesn't look original, or if the record seems to have undergone some damage over time, we'll probably take it out of the wrapper to ensure that it's in good shape — which is why we don't have more of these. In some cases the shrink-wrap may be torn in spots, but if it's not possible the record has been taken out and played, the record will still qualify as "Sealed".

Additional Marks & Notes

If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.

Joseph Gershenson/Alex North

Written On The Wind/Four Girls In Town
Decca, Mid 50s. Sealed
Dramatic music from the Sirk film Written On The Wind – with even cooler music on the flipside – the "Rhapsody For Four Girls In Town", with piano from Andre Previn, trumpet from Ray Linn, and orchestrations by Henry Mancini! LP, Vinyl record album
Decca, 1958. Sealed
A dramatic soundtrack to this Douglas Sirk film! LP, Vinyl record album

Elmer Bernstein/Shorty Rogers & His Giants

Man With The Golden Arm – Original Soundtrack
Decca, 1955. Very Good+
One of the greatest jazz soundtracks of all time! Elmer Bernstein wrote the score to Otto Preminger's chilling film version of Nelson Algren's book The Man With The Golden Arm – a sad tale of jazz, gambling, and heroin addiction on the streets of Chicago (not far from Dusty Groove, in fact!) ... LP, Vinyl record album

Jay & The Americans/Beau Brummels/Astronauts

Wild Wild Winter
Decca, 1965. Near Mint-
With selections by Jay & The Americans, The Astronauts, Dick & Dee Dee, The Beau Brummels and Jackie & Gayle. LP, Vinyl record album

Andrew Lloyd Webber

Odessa File
Decca, 1974. Near Mint-
A strange little soundtrack from Andrew Lloyd Webber – written to accompany this action film starring Jon Voight, based on the spy thriller by Frederick Forsythe. About half the soundtrack is classical tunes or traditional German numbers – but there's also some nice electric funk tunes ... LP, Vinyl record album
Decca, Late 50s. Very Good+
Not actually music with Kim Novak – but a set of musical backdrops by Morris Stoloff – designed as a package for the film Jeanne Eagels! The cover has a great color shot on the front, and smaller images of Kim on the back – and the music is surprisingly dark and moody. LP, Vinyl record album

Franz Waxman

Crime In The Streets
Decca, 1956. Very Good+
Hard to find soundtrack to this early Don Siegel film that starred John Cassavetes, Sal Mineo, and James Whitmore as a bunch of JD's. The score has a dramatic crime jazz sound, similar to Elmer Bernstein's work in the same vein – and the LP also includes Waxman's "Three Sketches for ... LP, Vinyl record album

Simon & Garfunkel/Dave Grusin

Graduate – Original Soundtrack
Columbia, 1968. Very Good+
A tremendous little soundtrack – even if you've seen it a million times! Simon & Garfunkel always had a really dark quality to their music, but it never seemed to show as much on the pop charts as it did when used brilliantly by Mike Nichols in this important film. Their tunes emerge in ... LP, Vinyl record album

Alessandro Alessandroni

Formula 1 Nell'Inferno Del Grand Prix
Beat (Italy), 1970. Sealed
One of the grooviest racing soundtracks we've ever heard – a set that's a lot more funky than some of the better-known racetrack film scores that were coming into the racks during the late 60s! The vibe here is almost a bit like some of the sound library material of Alessandro Alessandroni ... LP, Vinyl record album

Jan Hammer & Others

Miami Vice
MCA, 1985. Very Good+
Features amazing synth work by Jan Hammer – and additional tracks by Glenn Frey, Chaka Khan, Phil Collins, Grandmaster Melle Mel, and Tina Turner. LP, Vinyl record album

Charles Fox/Barry Manilow

Foul Play
Arista, 1978. Very Good+
A movie that's so familiar, we sometimes forget the greatness of its soundtrack! True, the film did give the world a few big hits from Barry Manilow, but the instrumental score by Charles Fox is mighty nice – a great blend of 70s cop/crime modes with a few tenser moments – orchestrated ... LP, Vinyl record album
Arista, 1978. Very Good+ 2LP Gatefold
(White label promo. Cover has a cut corner, light wear, unglued seams, and clear tape remnants at the top seam.) LP, Vinyl record album
