Romeo and Juliet in Vinyl, Zefferelli Style

Original Soundtrack Recording of  the Franco Zeffirelli Production of Romeo and Juliet (There are some scratches, so it is only $1)

I thought this would be a music soundtrack, but no, it is the lines from the play.

I remember when this movie came out. It made quite a stir as the leads were so young. Oh, and there was that nude scene between the two stars. "Juliet" was 15, and underage, so she had to have her parent's written permission to appear nude. Romeo was 17, so did not need his folk's permission.

According to Zeffirelli's  autobiography, Paul McCartney was first offered the male lead. Now wouldn't that have been interesting!
