One of the most famous soundtracks in film history, the original film soundtrack to Lucasfilm's 'Star Wars: A New Hope,' will be released on October 2, 2020 as a gatefold double LP on 180g Vinyl. This nostalgic soundtrack instantly transports listeners back to the scenes of the cult film. In the year of its release, the soundtrack was awarded multiple times, including the Academy Award® for 'Best Original Score' and the BAFTA for 'Best Film Music' (1978). Also in the year of its release, the 'Star Wars - Main Title' reached number ten on the Billboard Hot 100 - at the time, a novelty for a classical music piece. The soundtrack alone sold over a million copies in the United States. The soundtrack, composed by John Williams and performed by the London Symphony Orchestra, has since been considered an absolute benchmark for film music. John Williams, one of the most successful and renowned composers worldwide, has composed the original music for over a hundred films in five decades, including all nine Star Wars films. Williams has won five Academy Awards®, four Golden Globe® Awards, seven British Academy Film Awards, five Emmy® Awards, and 25 Grammy® Awards. With 52 Oscar nominations, Williams is the second most nominated person in history after Walt Disney at the Academy Awards®, and the most nominated living person.
