Description

 This auction is for the insanely rare deluxe collector's edition of Cat Steven's soundtrack to Hal Ashby's classic cult film, "Harold and Maude". This soundtrack has been unavailable for over 36 years! A collector's edition was printed in 2007, marking the first and ONLY time this soundtrack has been made available for purchase. Only 2500 copies were ever produced, and of those only 300 were printed on red/pink vinyl! A description of the package follows:

 There’s been a hole in the fabric of the film/music world for many, many, many years: late-great director Hal Ashby’s bizarre, romantic masterpiece Harold and Maude was blessed with a Cat Steven’s soundtrack (one that featured two songs written specifically for the film) that never truly saw the light of day.  Yes, “Don’t Be Shy” and “If You Want To Sing Out, Sing Out” were released on the Footsteps in the Dark compilation in ’84, but besides that the original sound track of the film has gone unreleased.

Until now.

Cameron Crowe (yes, that Cameron Crowe) has a little company called Vinyl Films and they’ve put together one of the better LP packages we’ve ever seen.  Compiling the entire soundtrack, plus the most extensive interviews about the film, well, ever, Crowe has put together a fantastic package for this never-before released gem.  It’s got posters, booklets, a limited edition 7-inch, and, best of all, a multi-colored record.

Vinyl Films Records has just released the Holy Grail of unreleased soundtracks, Harold and Maude!

Thirty-six years after its initial release, every one of Cat Stevens’ masterful songs from the film are compiled in one incredible package. In addition to such classics as “Miles From Nowhere”, “Where Do The Children Play?” and “Trouble”, the album includes the two songs written specifically for Harold and Maude, “If You Want To Sing Out, Sing Out” and “Don’t Be Shy”, along with alternate versions of both Harold and Maude tracks.

Over two years in the making, the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack to Harold and Maude comes with an extensive 36-page full-color booklet filled with never-before-seen photographs and an oral history of the making of the film and the music, as told by the filmmakers and participants. Also included is a bonus 7? single with unreleased versions of “Don’t Be Shy” and “If You Want To Sing Out, Sing Out”, two suitable-for-framing posters, and much more!

Available only on 2500 copies of Limited Edition Vinyl.

LP Package also includes -
- 2 foldout 18? x 24? posters
- Bonus 7? with previously unreleased tracks
