Richard M. Sherman & Robert B. Sherman – Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (Original Motion Picture Cast Soundtrack LP) (1968)
Classic British stereo release gatefold original film soundtrack to ‘Chitty Chitty Bang Bang’ (1968, dir. Ken Hughes), featuring songs written by Richard M. Sherman & Robert B. Sherman and conducted by Irwin Kostal.

The best-loved children's movie musical, based on the book by Ian Fleming and produced largely by the James Bond team of Albert R. Broccoli and co., starred Dick Van Dyke, Sally Ann Howes, Adrian Hall, Heather Ripley, Lionel Jeffries, Benny Hill, James Robertson Justice, Robert Helpmann, Barbara Windsor and Gert Fröbe.

Comes in a laminated gatefold sleeve.

Condition (refer also to notes at bottom): VINYL: F. Very clean on visual inspection. Just a few light scuffs and faint hairlines. Played just pre-listing and sound clarity is fair overall - but very good in many places. Run-ins have some light surface noise (much more crackly on side 2). Mild static and surface noise in places and during quieter cues/fadeouts, but nothing major. Start of side 2 has clicks, pops and it jumps several times. Plays with no other skipping or sticking. An enjoyable listen despite this.
OUTER SLEEVE/COVER: VG. Colours are clear and unfaded. Superb laminated gatefold card sleeve featuring original poster release cover. Scuffing to corners. Aperture moderately nicked. Edges in great shape with no scuffing and spine has half a dozen splits but text readable. Some creases in from sides/corners. Reverse has mild disc outline and the odd crease in from sides but otherwise fine. Inner gate paper sleeve generally clean with only a few creases and marks (mainly on outer sides). All flipbacks present and attached. Very good overall.
INNER SLEEVE: VG+. White paper sleeve. Very minor creasing but no marks, rips or stains. Clean and intact. A decent example.

ITEM CONDITION - items are graded according to Record Collector definitions - see below:

MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and / or creasing.

VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.

FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and / or defaced.

POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.

BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler.
