Choosing between these vintage vinyl records comes down to focus versus variety. One centers on *The Empire Strikes Back* in a Book and Record presentation, while the other gathers story records tied to E.T., Star Wars, and *The Wizard of Oz*. Both are used paper-sleeve releases, but they suit different kinds of nostalgia shelves.
Quick verdict
Pick Star Wars Empire Strikes Back Vintage Movie Vinyl Book And Record 45 Lot Of 2 when your priority is a dedicated *Empire Strikes Back* piece with the Star Wars theme credited to Jymn Magon. Choose Vtg 3 Lot Movie Hits SEE, HEAR, READ Story Book Vinyl E.T. Star Wars, Wiz Of Oz when a three-title group of movie-story records is more appealing.
The listed prices run from USD 14.40 to USD 16.99, a USD 2.59 spread. The lower-priced entry emphasizes several film stories, while the higher-priced entry is devoted to one Star Wars film.

Where each record wins
Empire Strikes Back Book and Record is the more targeted choice for a Star Wars-centered collection. It is described as a 1979 release on 20th Century Records, credits Jymn Magon, and falls under science fiction. Those details give it a cohesive single-film identity rather than a mixed movie assortment.
3-Lot Movie Hits Story Vinyl has the stronger case for listeners who enjoy read-along-style movie material. Its 1978 Disneyland Records description includes English "SEE, HEAR, READ" segments and places it in children's music and spoken word. That combination makes the appeal less about one soundtrack theme and more about story-driven entertainment across several films.
Star Wars Empire Strikes Back Vintage Movie Vinyl Book And Record 45 Lot Of 2
Choose this one for the two-piece Book and Record presentation tied specifically to *The Empire Strikes Back*. The combination of a vinyl record and companion book makes it a focused addition for someone building around Star Wars media rather than gathering a mix of family-film stories. Its black vinyl, paper sleeve, and Very Good (VG) inlay condition reinforce the vintage presentation. The limitation is that it is listed as used, so it is best approached as a previously owned collectible rather than a new copy. It makes the most sense when the Jymn Magon Star Wars theme and a single-film theme matter more than variety.
Vtg 3 Lot Movie Hits SEE, HEAR, READ Story Book Vinyl E.T. Star Wars, Wiz Of Oz
This set is the better fit when you want E.T., Star Wars, and *The Wizard of Oz* represented together in a three-lot group. The English spoken-word and children's-music framing gives it a distinctly story-oriented character, with "SEE, HEAR, READ" material that suits movie-memory listening as much as vinyl collecting. Its paper-sleeve format and original-cover feature keep the presentation rooted in its period. The tradeoff is the stated E.T. book-cover wear: the rear cover had been taped at one point, even though all pages are present. That condition detail matters for buyers who prioritize cleaner book components.
Final choice by use case
For a compact Star Wars display or a film-specific Book and Record collectible, go with Star Wars Empire Strikes Back Vintage Movie Vinyl Book And Record 45 Lot Of 2. For a more varied set built around familiar movie stories, choose Vtg 3 Lot Movie Hits SEE, HEAR, READ Story Book Vinyl E.T. Star Wars, Wiz Of Oz-especially if the E.T., Star Wars, and *Wizard of Oz* combination is the draw.
