Description

This 45 rpm vinyl record features the original soundtrack of the film "Once Upon a Time in the West", composed by Ennio Morricone. The cover visible in the image displays an iconic color photograph from the film: four characters in long coats, seen from behind, facing a typical American Old West wooden building, with pastel mountains in the background. The aesthetic of the cover, with its slightly faded hues and typical 60s graphics, immediately evokes the world of the spaghetti western.

On the front, the inscriptions are clear: "il était une fois dans l’Ouest" (Once Upon a Time in the West) is printed in large red letters, while "musique de ENNIO MORRICONE" (music by ENNIO MORRICONE) appears in white at the bottom of the cover. The RCA logo appears in the upper left, accompanied by the reference "49.622 hit parade". In the upper right, the mention "VICTOR MONO" is also visible. A black and white insert "BANDE ORIGINALE DU FILM" (ORIGINAL FILM SOUNDTRACK) is visible under the main title.

The cover shows visible signs of wear on the edges and corners, as well as a handwritten blue inscription "Noël 1969" (Christmas 1969) on the upper part, confirming the record's release period. The overall visual, however, maintains good readability and the charm of a vintage item, with an authentic patina. No other elements or details of the back are visible in this image.

The record inside is not visible in the photo, but the cover clearly indicates that it is an RCA Victor 45 rpm, single format, typical for the distribution of original soundtracks in the 1960s-70s. This type of edition is prized for its retro aesthetic and Morricone's renown in film music.
