John Williams' Japanese release 7-inch
It is the main theme of the 1977 film Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and was released as a 7-inch single in Japan that same year.
This single features a simple yet memorable rendition of the film's iconic five-note motif, highlighting John Williams's compositional talent. It was rare for a pop instrumental film score to even make the charts in the 1980s, so its success, peaking at number 13 in the US, is a remarkable achievement. The limited release as a Japanese 7-inch is sure to be an attractive item for collectors and film music fans.
