Music From The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack | Vinyl LP | 1982 | Australian First Pressing | MCA Records MCA 6109
A superb 1982 Australian first pressing of John Williams' iconic soundtrack to Steven Spielberg's beloved science-fiction classic E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial.
Released by MCA Records, catalogue MCA 6109, this original-era LP captures one of the most celebrated film scores of the 1980s. The album was originally released in 1982, and Williams' score went on to win both the Academy Award for Best Original Score and the Grammy Award for Best Score Soundtrack for Visual Media.
Directed by Steven Spielberg, E.T. tells the unforgettable story of Elliott, a young boy who discovers and befriends an extraterrestrial accidentally left behind on Earth.
John Williams' music is absolutely central to the film's emotional impact. His sweeping orchestration perfectly captures the sense of wonder, innocence, adventure and friendship that made the film a worldwide phenomenon.
The soundtrack includes the celebrated “Flying” theme and the extended “Adventure on Earth”, one of Williams' most spectacular cinematic sequences.

Side B
The original LP contains eight tracks, with the lengthy “Adventure On Earth” closing the album at over 15 minutes.
This is one of those soundtracks where the music has become inseparable from the film itself. Williams' score helped create the magical atmosphere that made E.T. such an enduring classic.
The 1982 Australian first pressing is particularly appealing to collectors of Australian vinyl, representing the soundtrack in its original release era rather than as a later anniversary or remastered edition.
Important collector note: the original 1982 LP is a presentation of concert arrangements of the film's music rather than the complete original film score; later editions expanded the soundtrack substantially.
