1.That Melody of Love, from MGM's 1927 production 'Love'.
Love is a silent film directed by Edmund Goulding and released by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. MGM made the film in order to capitalize on its winning romantic team of Greta Garbo and John Gilbert who had starred in the 1926 blockbuster, Flesh and the Devil.
Taking advantage of the star power, a drama was scripted based on Tolstoy's Anna Karenina. It provided the public with a taste of Gilbert-Garbo eroticism that would never again be matched. The publicity campaign for the film was one of the largest up to that time, and the title was changed from the original, Heat.
It is 3 pieces of music + covers. The music is perfectly usable; the cover is not in great shape and would need professional attention.
