The SOUND OF MUSIC

Original Soundtrack Recording  

This auction is for a copy of an Australian pressing of the original soundtrack recording of the film of Rodgers & Hammerstein’s My Fair Lady. The film stars Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer, with Richard Haydn, Peggy Wood, Charmian Carr, and Eleanor Parker in supporting roles. It was a major commercial success, becoming the highest-grossing film of 1965. For five years it was the highest-grossing film of all-time and it is widely regarded as a classic movie musical. The soundtrack album is one of the most successful of all time. This is the gatefold version, with notes on, and images from, the film.
