Original Soundtrack Vinyl Appraisal

For Your Eyes Only (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) Vinyl LP

The item is a vintage vinyl record album, specifically the original soundtrack for the James Bond film 'For Your Eyes Only'. The album cover is predominantly a deep reddish-maroon color, with a central graphic featuring a woman's legs in high heels and a bikini bottom, with James Bond (portrayed by Roger Moore) standing between her legs in a classic pose, aiming a pistol. The woman's right hand holds a crossbow. The title 'FOR YOUR EYES ONLY' is prominently displayed in large white letters across the top central part of the cover. Above the title, smaller white text indicates 'ALBERT R. BROCCOLI PRESENTS ROGER MOORE IN IAN FLEMING'S JAMES BOND 007'. Credits for 'Music Composed by BILL CONTI', 'Title Song Performed by SHEENA EASTON', and 'Lyrics by MICHAEL LEESON' are listed vertically on the left side of the cover. Repeating '007' motifs are subtly visible in a darker shade across the reddish background, adding to the Bond branding. The cover appears to be made of standard cardboard stock used for LP jackets. Visible condition issues include some edge wear, especially along the top and bottom edges, suggesting typical handling and storage over time. There are minor scuffs or surface irregularities on the red background, indicating its age and use. The artwork itself appears to be well-preserved without significant fading or tears. Given the film's release in 1981, this album likely dates from the early 1980s, placing it in the late 20th-century pop culture era. The overall craftsmanship is consistent with mass-produced record albums of that period, featuring professional graphic design and printing.
