8-page Booklet attached to inner-gate; slight discoloration to pages and last page has come unglued. Vinyl plays nicely on side 1 and with crackles and a few light-clicks mid way through side 2 (play-graded). Gate-fold cover looks great, a few creases near edges, light scuffing and discoloration spots (front/back/inner-gate); tiny pin holes near top left on front that go through to back. Some surface abrasion on back. Inner-sleeve is original (generic white). Spine is easy-to-read with mild wear. Minor shelf-wear along bottom-edge, slightly more wear along top edge and corners. Opening is crisp with signs of use and divots. (Hole-punch in top-right.)
The Star, Star! (re-titled Those Were the Happy Times for its 1969 re-release) is a 1968 American biographical-musical film directed by Robert Wise and starring Julie Andrews. The screenplay by William Fairchild is based on the life and career of British performer Gertrude Lawrence. The liner notes suggest, "In donning the mantle of Gertie for STAR!, Julie Andrews makes no attempt to impersonate the late stage star; she has, instead, sought to capture the aura and the spirit of this magical performer and the wildly improbable era in which she streaked across the theatrical heavens. It is Julie's own lovely, crystal voice and her fresh, exuberant personality which pays tribute to the talents of Gertrude Lawrence."
