    On ToD, I noticed that the choir in "Approaching the Stones" seems to be from a different take on the 2008 CD then the choir you hear on the film. And the Indy fanfare in the final moments of "Short Round Helps" also appears to be a different take as well.
     
    Given the carelessness that the ToD 2008 CD had when it was assembled (wrong pitch and unbalanced sound from the different source materials used), I'm sure I can point many instances of different takes, but I'd have the revisit the score and movie (which I haven't done in quite sometime now). But those two I pointed are the ones more obvious to me that I noticed when I first listened to it many years ago when it came out.

    One thing I noticed is the "Detention Block Ambush" portion of the "The Last Battle", from about 1:00 to the end of it (when Han tries to stall the troopers from the radio, and Lukes rushes to the Princess' cell to rescue her and delivers the memorable line "I'm Luke Skywalker, I'm here to rescue you!), a different take was used on the '77 album that is not present on the '93 Anthology nor the '97 SE. According to the booklet, takes 150 to 154 were recorded, and takes 153 and 154 were selected (which I assume are the takes used to create both the film mix and the 97 SE as well). The curious thing is that the 2018 dismaster did not replicate that unique take of the '77 album, so it remains exclusive to the album (and the 2016 re-release of it).

    Oh yes, I forgot to mention the 1980s CD release... it's the same.

    The complete recording sessions of the Main Title were a hidden bonus track on the 2-Disc '97 Special Edition set.
     
    @phbart managed to piece together the correct take portions used to make the Film Version; later, I combined the best leftover bits that weren't used in the Film Version (including the original run-up, recorded on Takes 16 through 18) into two tracks for fanedits and playlists:

    If I read correctly somewhere, it's because, by 1984, recording engineer Eric Tomlinson wasn't working for Anvil Studios anymore (were they recorded the OT and Raiders as well). So maybe it was more "convenient" to stay in the US.

    The cool thing is that, even at 91, he'll probably attend the cerimony as he always does, even knowing he's not going to win.

    The new documentary on Disney Plus "Timeless Heroes: Indiana Jones and Harrison Ford" shows how much fun the actors and Steven had on set. It's really quite touching hearing more about Harrison's relationship with little Key Huy Quan. And there's a little footage from the Dial of Destiny recording sessions with Harrison giving thanks to Williams. I really enjoyed the documentary, and it makes me more excited for the Williams doc.

    From time to time I revisit this wonderful article from Chris Malone about not only the recording process, but how "chaotic" it was to produce this boxset. Very interesting reading...

    Makes me sad to think that RotJ could sound terrific in the 1997 2CD set as it did in the Anthology set.
