Ephemera related to Stanley Kubrick's Masterpiece of Modern Horror, 'The Shining'

Original Soundtrack LP for The Shining, released in 1980. The album was subsequently pulled from shelves by Warner Brothers for reasons unknown, and has not been available in any official form since.

The soundtrack is composed of a mix of music by Wendy Carlos & Rachel Elkind, Gyorgy Ligeti, Béla Bartok, Krzysztof Penderecki, and Henry Hall & the Gleneagles Hotel Band.

The original LP remains available on eBay, and via various bootleg CD’s, many of which contain additional music from the film not available on the original album.
