Clint Eastwood related Vinyl Records from around the world

I like original vinyl records - they remain so nostalgic. In a time where music is now represented by a CD or even a file, there is something rather special about holding a record in your hands and simply admiring the cover art (try doing that with a file!) So here are a few to start off this great section.

Above: ROWDY was a single released by Clint on the Cameo Parkway label C240, released at the height of Clint's success in the TV series RAWHIDE, the flip side contained a little tune named Cowboy Wedding Song.


Above: A Nice original 7" single from France for FOR A FEW DOLLARS MORE

Above: A Nice French 7" Single for the Hugo Montenegro Version of The Good The Bad and the Ugly.

Above: A very nice single from Japan for Ennio Morricone's original version of The Good The Bad and the Ugly

Above: A rare LP from Japan which contained western themes, often poor cover versions of the music, but Eastwood's image for the sleeve often proved to be a winner.

Above and Below: An original Italian 7" Single for For a Few Dollars More, Below shows the reverse of the sleeve which is also beautifully designed.


Above: A rare Italian 7" Single for the theme from A Fistful of Dollars
Below: The same Ennio Morricone 7" Single but from Japan


Above: A very nice design for this rare Thailand EP


Above and Below: Another 2 examples of western themes LP's from Japan where Clint's image was used as the main selling point.

Below: Also from Japan, a very rare 7" 45rpm of the Theme from Two Mules for Sister Sara by Ennio Morricone Cat No: MCS3710

Below: A very nice French 45rpm for For a Few Dollars More

Below: Roberta Flack's The First Time ever I saw your Face from the Motion Picture PLAY MISTY FOR ME was released as a B side on the Old Gold Record Label, but remains the only official piece of Music released from Clint's film.

Below: With the use of a PC today, a rather dull cover (as above) can be hidden by a Custom made Insert as I have done here. Inserted into the plastic outer sleeve, the record is suddenly transformed, and as a result, is kept more in line with the film tie in.


Above: A Rare French 45 for Hugo Montenegro's Hang em High
Below: A very Rare EP from Thailand, containing several western themes, Including For a Few Dollars More.
* I'd like to thank a very special U.S. friend of The Archive, Bill Thomson for both of these excellent vinyl records which Bill very kindly gave me. Bill, you're too kind sir!

Below: Clint's LP Cowboy Favourites was released while he was starring in Rawhide. Released in both Stereo and Mono, it is always high on 'wanted' lists among Clint Eastwood collectors and can often fetch High prices.

Below: Another great cover for what seems to be an LP version of For a Few Dollars More and the River Kwai a Go Go (as seen above) Luckily, I have a little more information regarding this particular version with a Cat No RLX-510, the LP comes from Maylasia.

Below: How about these 2 wonderful releases from Japan, both 7" vinyl singles, the first is one of the many releases from the dollar trilogy and of course, composer Ennio Morricone. The second is the beautiful single release from The Eiger Sanction, music composed by John Williams.
