This is the original LP pressing of composer Michel Legrand’s score to director Zelda Barron’s 1984 drama Secret Places.
The film tells the moving story of young girl’s growing up in a rural England against the backdrop of World War II.
Michel Jean Legrand (born February 24, 1932, in Bécon-les-Bruyères in the Paris suburbs) is a French-Armenian musical composer, arranger, conductor, and pianist.
