"This unique book presents the first visual history of today's most hotly collected records - the great movie and television soundtracks from the 1950s to the early 1970s, from Breakfast at Tiffany's and Thunderball to Mission: Impossible and Barbarella. The soundtrack albums of these and other classic movies are among the most prized collectibles today - recordings that summon up the secret agents, starlets, glamour and exotica of the past and set the mood for the "cool modern" lounge scene of today." "The book showcases art, in brilliant full color, from nearly 300 of the greatest soundtrack covers, including many sought-after items by film music legends such as John Barry, Jerry Goldsmith, Henry Mancini, Ennio Morricone and Lalo Schifrin. It is a must for record collectors, graphic designers and anyone into the new easy listening scene."--BOOK JACKET.
