Sealed 1983 UK stereo pressing. David Hentschel’s "Educating Rita" album is the official soundtrack to the 1983 British film directed by Lewis Gilbert, which starred Michael Caine and Julie Walters. Hentschel, an accomplished English composer and producer known for his work with artists like Genesis and Elton John, was commissioned to create the music that would underscore the film’s themes of transformation and self-discovery. Released by EMI Records, the album primarily features instrumental tracks that echo the emotional nuances of the film, blending classical and contemporary styles characteristic of Hentschel’s compositional approach during the early 1980s.
