THIS AUCTION FEATURES A HIGHLY RARE ESTATE SALE LP ALBUM ENTITLED, "THE ORIGINAL MOTION PICTURE SOUNDTRACK THEME SONGS FROM THE MOVIE, CHINATOWN." - THE ORIGINAL COLLECTOR KEPT THIS COPY TOTALLY SEALED AND SIMPLY STORED IT IN A PLASTIC SLEEVE FOR ALL THESE DECADES.- SEE PHOTOS.

THE ALBUM IS UNIQUE SINCE IT WAS NEVER OPENED.  THE CONDITION IS OBVIOUSLY ABOUT AS EXCELLENT AS YOU CAN GET AN LP FROM THE FACTORY - A RECORD COLLECTOR'S DREAM. - SEE PHOTOS.  I USUALLY POST MORE PHOTOS OF AN LP, BUT I CERTAINLY WAS NOT GOING TO BE THE ONE TO OPEN SUCH A PRIZE JUST TO PHOTOGRAPH A NEW VINYL RECORD INSIDE.

THE ICONIC STARS APPEARING IN THE MOVIE WERE THE ONE AND ONLY JACK NICHOLSON AS WELL AS FAYE DUNAWAY.  THE DIRECTOR WAS ROMAN POLANSKI.

THE RECORD WAS RECORDED BY ABC RECORDS WITH OFFICES IN LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA AND NEW YOUR, NEW YORK - LP PRINTED IN U.S.

I AM SELLING MANY ITEMS FROM AN ESTATE SALE OF A WEALTHY LADY WHO PASSED IN COLORADO SPRINGS, COLORADO.  MANY OF MY OTHER AUCTIONS SHOW OTHER ITEMS FROM THE SAME ESTATE SALE. 

IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A VARIETY OF ELITE AND MUSICAL ITEMS SUCH AS THIS ONE, YOU MIGHT WANT TO CHECK THOSE AUCTIONS OUT AS WELL.

THE LADY SAT ON SEVERAL GOVERNING BOARDS AND WAS A COMMUNITY LEADER.  SHE ACTUALLY MET FRANK SINATRA, HANK WILLIAMS JR., AND OTHER A-LIST SINGING ARTISTS ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION.  IN FACT, THE LADY ATTENDED SEVERAL NATIONALLY TELEVISED OSCAR SHOWS AND MET WITH AN ARRAY OF MOVIE STARS.

AMONG OTHER ARTISTS, SHE ESPECIALLY LOVED BOTH FRANK SINATRA AND HANK WILLIAMS JR.  SHE HAD SEVERAL RECORD ALBUMS, BOOKS, AND MISCELLANEOUS MEMORABILIA OF BOTH INDIVIDUALS (ALONG WITH MANY OTHERS SELECTIVE LP's SUCH AS THIS ONE).

FOR EXAMPLE, ONE OF MY OTHER AUCTIONS FROM THE SAME ESTATE FEATURES AN ORIGINAL PROGRAM WITH 2 TICKET STUBS FROM A 1990'S FRANK SINATRA CONCERT.  THE COLLECTOR MET WITH SINATRA AFTER THE PERFORMANCE. (WHICH HAS SINCE SOLD).

I WILL SLOWLY POST MANY OF THOSE OTHER ITEMS AS TIME PERMITS - MANY OF THEM ARE VALUABLE BOTH MONETARILY AND SENTIMENTALLY.  SOMETIMES, YOU CAN'T SEPARATE ONE FROM THE OTHER AS SENTIMENT IS THE PRIMARY REASON WE BUY SUCH MEMORABILIA THAT IS SO WELL-PRESERVED. (SORRY, DIDN'T MEAN TO GET PHILOSOPHICAL).

THIS ALBUM IS ONE OF SEVERAL ADDITIONAL LP'S SHE HAD IN HER COLLECTION. - SEE MY OTHER AUCTIONS IF YOU WANT TO SEE SOME NICE LP'S, ETC.  THE FOLLOWING IS A SMALL SAMPLE OF THE LP'S IN THE COLLECTION THAT WERE AMONG ORIGINAL MOVIE SOUNDTRACK AND MUSICAL PRODUCTIONS.
