Enjoy The Ride Records, in partnership with Paramount Pictures, release the soundtrack to the classic motion picture Sunset Boulevard on vinyl for the first time ever. Franz Waxman’s Academy Award-winning score is performed by the Paramount Symphony Orchestra. The soundtrack is pressed on limited edition colored vinyl and housed in a single LP jacket with a poly-lined inner sleeve. This pressing is limited to 500 copies across four colorful variants.

Gloria Swanson, as an aging silent-film queen, and William Holden, as the struggling young screenwriter who is held in thrall by her madness, created two of the screen’s most memorable characters in Sunset Boulevard. Winner of three Academy Awards®, director Billy Wilder’s powerful orchestration of the bizarre tale is a true cinematic classic. From the unforgettable opening sequence, a body found floating in a decayed mansion’s swimming pool, through the inevitable unfolding of tragic destiny, Sunset Boulevard is the definitive statement on the dark and desperate side of Hollywood.
