The original soundtrack to the 1964 film My Fair Lady was released by Columbia.[3]

Billboard reviewed the album in its issue from 3 October 1964, writing: "A blockbuster! Cast is excellent. Performance is outstanding. Sound is great. This movie soundtrack album of the Warner Bros. picture "My Fair Lady," with Rex Harrison and Audrey Hepburn, with music supervised and conducted by Andre Previn, will sell and sell. Makes the ideal gift for Christmas or anytime. De luxe packaging with four-color photos on two pages in the center of the album. Columbia has the original Broadway show album and now the motion picture album. A pair of aces!"[1]

The album peaked at number 6 on the U.S. Billboard Top LPs chart for two consecutive weeks in December 1964[6] and continued to sell well into 1965. It finished 1965 as the fourth best-selling album of the year in the United States according to Billboard.
