Frank Cordell with Richard Harris and Alec Guinness ‎– Cromwell (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) LP (1970)

Very good hard-to-find UK release.

Featuring dramatic excerpts and music from the major historical film.

Front cover design features a superb reworking of the original film poster artwork.

The epic historical film (1970, dir. Ken Hughes) starred an ensemble cast including Richard Harris as Cromwell and Alec Guinness as King Charles I, with Robert Morley as Edward Montagu, 2nd Earl of Manchester and Timothy Dalton as Prince Rupert of the Rhine.

Condition
VINYL: VG+. Superbly clean on visual inspection. No obvious hairlines, marks or scuffs. Just one dimple each side at run-ins, a possible fault in the pressing. Played just pre-listing and sound clarity is great throughout. Some light static at run-ins, between cues and during quieter sections but instrumentals, dialogue and FX sound great. Some low clicking for 15 seconds at start of each side through dimple. Plays with no skipping, jumping or sticking. An enjoyable listen.
OUTER SLEEVE/COVER: VG. Colours clear and unfaded on superb lamented front with paper back. Corners have scuffs and aperture dogeared. Edges and spine are clean and unmarked. Short creases in from some sides and several other veinlike creases across front and corners. Reverse has minor marks and yellowing on flipbacks / edges but no other obvious defects.
INNER SLEEVE: G+. Original white EMI paper sleeve with rounded corners. No creases, rips or stains. One side is sellotaped but intact. A very good example.
