Leonard Bernstein – West Side Story: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Vinyl 2LP)

Robert Wise’s iconic 1961 film West Side Story is a triumphant legend where love transcends language, time, and place. While Manhattan’s west side rumbles with the clash of Jets and Sharks, Maria and Tony seek “a somewhere” their romance can thrive. In their revolutionary work that changed the course of the American musical, Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim brought their genius to the immortal story of star-crossed lovers caught in a turf war of rival ethnic gangs. When released, the soundtrack spent 54 weeks at No. 1 on Billboard’s album charts, giving it the longest run at the top spot of any album in history at the time. In 1962, it won a Grammy award for Best Sound Track Album – Original Cast further bolstering the popularity of the movie and soundtrack. In the United States, it was the best-selling album of the ’60s, certified three times Platinum.
