Can you be a little more specific about the numbers? Do you have any numbers (and/ or letters) carved on the inner ring of the label? Or mentioned on the label itself? Otherwise this is an almost impossible task to recognise it.
Maybe it is possible for you to place some pictures here. What makes you so sure that this is a soundtrack record?
A&R records is not really known for soundtracks releases, Don't you mean A&M records possibly?
Not sure how to attach a photo to this website sorry.....its def. A & R records, address 322 West 48th
Street. NY10036 is printed on the label. The tracks are typed on, so might just be an early demo.
7 on each side.
Am interested to sell this record, I do have provenance but not prepared to share it at this point.
Regards.
Can you see if these tracks are similar on the A and the B side? However, if you have only this information, you must find a recordplayer somewhere and just play the record. If you do not recognise the music maybe Shazam could help you find out. Good luck! Let us know if you have more info regarding this record.
Btw A&R records (or A&R Recording) is more known for releasing Pop artists (not soundtracks) like: James Brown, Ramsey Lewis, Miles Davis, Billy Joel, Bob Dylan, Elton John, the Jacksons and Led Zeppelin just to name a few 
So this really could be an interesting find nonetheless.
If you are looking for the real experts on this area you must try here: www.discogs.com ask the same question on the forum and you will be amazed how many people are willing to help you.

This is pretty interesting:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0067959/soundtrack
https://www.discogs.com/de/Warren-Marley-Something-Better/release/7117102
So this is most likely really a soundtrack album. Could you provide the full track listing - with artists?
Many thanks in advance 
I am definately sure she said 7 tracks on each side.
I didn't say it's the LP mentioned above. Just this: the song "Los Angeles" seems to have been distributed by A & R Records - and it IS in the movie "Walkabout", as is a song called "Electronic Dance". I'm just wondering if this could really be a soundtrack album for "Walkabout"...

There were rumours of a planned Walkabout soundtrack album that would have had a similar configuration to the Midnight Cowboy album, i.e. a handful of score tracks mixed with the Stockhausen, etc.
But it was never produced.
It is always possible a demo of an album was cut, but on the scant information presented here I'd suggest there's no way anyone could confirm one way or the other what we've got here.
Without more information or sound samples, there's nothing to latch on to.
Cheers

Take some pictures. Post them somewhere and use the “special code legend” on the side of the posting field to see how to link to them. Try to find a phonograph and see what's on the wax.

If this really is the Walkabout film score, this LP should be find it's way to audio engineers to restore it so it can be issued properly.
If it really is a test pressing or 'personal copy' of the Walkabout film score, it would be worth a lot, but since nobody actually knows whether that's what this is, I can't see anybody risking a lot of money.
However since Phil Ramone produced the Walkabout recording, there is a positive link with A&R there. Is this from Phil Ramone's private library or something?

OK, I have corresponded with Caroline and have seen the photos.
The sleeve shows this disc was cut and sent to Si Litvinoff's hotel so this supports it is connscted to the film.
However we still don't clearly know what it is.
The score?
Pre-scoring demos?
A bunch of possible songs and electronic music cut for Si's consideration?
A deno of a soundtrack album?
A test pressing of a radio interview disc with songs?
There's no mention of John Barry but the only titled tracks are "Los Angeles", "Electronic Dance" and "Professiinal Crumble" which ARE non Barry tracks in the film.
We've agreed it really needs playing to find out what's on it.
If it is the score I hope the labels preserve it on CD.
Cheers
