The original soundtrack to the 1954 film A Star Is Born was released by Columbia Records in late 1954 in four formats: as a set of five 10-inch 78-rpm shellac records, a set of three EPs, as a 10-inch 33-rpm long-play, and as a 12-inch long-play. The latter was Columbia's first "de luxe" LP priced at 6.95 dollars. The soundtrack featured songs performed by Judy Garland.
The album reached the top 10 of Billboard's both "Best Selling Popular Albums" and "EPs" charts.
