Craft Recordings has announced first-ever picture disc edition of the soundtrack for the 1965 movie musical The Sound of Music directed by Robert Wise and starring Julie Andrews, Christopher Plummer, Peggy Wood, Charmian Carr, Richard Haydn and Eleanor Parker. The collectible 12-inch disc featuring the classic Rodgers & Hammerstein songs is being released to coincide with the film’s 60th anniversary and pairs the iconic 1965 cover art on side A with a whimsical “Lonely Goatherd” image on side B. The soundtrack will be released on September 9 and is now available for preorder on Amazon. The label has previously released a new “super duper” deluxe edition featuring both songs and score as a 4-CD/1-Blu-Ray set and digital album back in 2023. The Sound of Music is now available on VOD, Blu-ray and DVD. A restored and remastered 4K presentation of the movie will return to U.S. theaters on September 13, 14 & 17 via Fathom’s Big Screen Classics.
Here’s a closer look at the new picture disc edition:
