Choosing vinyl records tied to films and childhood stories comes down to one useful question: do you want a soundtrack box, a storybook-and-record experience, or a character-focused title? This group spans a 1968 Romeo and Juliet box set alongside Gremlins, Star Wars, and Popeye releases. Start with the format and subject that matter most, then factor in the stated used condition.
Quick take
- Pick Romeo and Juliet-1968-Movie Soundtrack-2444-Box Set Book & 4 Record LP for the only four-record box set and a Soundtracks & Musicals focus.
- Pick 1984 Book and Record Gremlins #466 Story and Movie Photos T M & Warner Bros when the 24-page booklet and 7-inch story-and-record format are the appeal.
- Pick Star Wars Empire Strikes Back Vintage Movie Vinyl Book And Record 45 Lot Of 2 for a Star Wars-themed lot of two in the Book and Record format.
- Pick POPEYE The Sailor Man In The Movies Book Record Vinyl & Four Music Popping Eps for its Popeye theme, First Pressing designation, and Original Cover feature.

Want a book-led children's story format? Gremlins has the strongest match with its 24-page booklet, 7-inch record size, and Children genre.
Want science-fiction movie nostalgia in a smaller-format package? Star Wars Empire Strikes Back is listed as a Book and Record lot of two, with a 7-inch 33 RPM single and Science Fiction genre.
Want Popeye material with pressing and cover details called out? The Popeye record carries both First Pressing and Original Cover attributes, while the condition details make it a more selective choice.
Product notes
Romeo and Juliet-1968-Movie Soundtrack-2444-Box Set Book & 4 Record LP
Choose this set when the priority is a substantial soundtrack presentation rather than a single story record. It is the only option identified as a Box Set, with four records, a 1968 release year, and Soundtracks & Musicals genre. The release title centers on Romeo and Juliet, with Various credited as artist and Capitol Records named as the label. Its description states that all discs were tested and work. The tradeoff is equally clear: it is used and sold as-is, making it better suited to someone comfortable with that stated condition and with the larger four-record format.
1984 Book and Record Gremlins #466 Story and Movie Photos T M & Warner Bros
The Gremlins set makes sense for shoppers drawn to a compact, book-integrated children's format. It pairs a 7-inch, 33 RPM record with a 24-page booklet, and its title specifically calls out the story and movie photos. Warner Bros. is named as the record label, while the release title is Gremlins. That combination gives it a more story-oriented identity than the soundtrack box or the two character-and-film selections. Its limitation is the listed used condition; choose it for the booklet-and-record concept and Gremlins subject rather than for a condition-specific presentation.
Star Wars Empire Strikes Back Vintage Movie Vinyl Book And Record 45 Lot Of 2
For a Star Wars-focused choice, this title offers a Book and Record format and a lot of two. Jymn Magon is the listed artist, and the Science Fiction genre aligns directly with the Empire Strikes Back theme. The description identifies a 7-inch single at 33 RPM, released in 1979 by 20th Century Records, while the attributes name a black vinyl record and a Very Good inlay condition. A paper sleeve is listed as the case type. The constraint is that the record itself is marked used, so its appeal rests on the franchise connection and book-and-record format.
POPEYE The Sailor Man In The Movies Book Record Vinyl & Four Music Popping Eps
This Popeye entry is the pick for buyers who want character material with pressing and cover details specifically noted. It is listed as a First Pressing with an Original Cover feature, housed in a cardboard sleeve and categorized in Children's. The description references Popeye The Sailor Man In The Movies as a book-record vinyl album and also mentions original radio broadcast shows. Condition is the important limitation here: the inlay is graded Good, and the description notes wear on the book covering. That makes the Popeye focus and First Pressing designation the central reasons to choose it.
Final recommendation by use case
Choose Gremlins when a USD 11.88 book-and-record set with a 24-page booklet is the main goal. Choose Star Wars Empire Strikes Back for the science-fiction theme and lot-of-two format. Choose Popeye for First Pressing and Original Cover details, accepting the stated cover wear. Choose Romeo and Juliet when a four-record soundtrack box set is worth the USD 34.99 listed price and used as-is condition.
