Popular Post Alan 689 Posted March 21, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 21, 2018 I'm going to choose to take this as a positive sign! If Shawn Murphy has re-transferred the scores at high-res and then the original OST releases have then been reconstructed it means that the clunky edits from the originals will be gone, making them more enjoyable in their own right. It also means that the elements will be there for a new expanded release. I'm hoping for a Jurassic Park type situation then where the original OST was reconstructed (albeit with bonus tracks) only for that work to form the basis of the complete release soon after.

Popular Post Alan 689 Posted March 22, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 22, 2018 Wasn't there an interview where Murphy (or someone else close to the production) mentioned that they edited the original digital files on Clones and Sith? Maybe they had to do a lot of reconstruction. Again, the work being done here gives me hope that something bigger is coming. Disney didn't have to re-transfer or reconstruct anything to make a quick buck from these scores. Some real work seems to be going on behind the scenes. From what we can gather, anyway.

These editions do not prevent that from still happening some day. In fact, its actually good news if the press release is accurate and Shawn Murphy supervised a new digital transfer of the original elements. That means if Disney were to hire Mike, they'd already have proper digital high res elements to give him to work with, and he wouldn't have to wait for everything to be transferred. Of course, he would need a lot more material than these guys did; They might have only transferred the cues that made it to the OST programs. Who knows. Well if that quote I posted is accurate, than everything was transferred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,249 Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Let's hope whatever they transferred included the ROTJ album recording sessions, which yielded not only all the concert arrangements, but also the end credits, revised sail barge assault, and I think another cue or two (maybe the revised Funeral Pyre cue?). If they found and transferred that, it means the Jabba The Hutt concert arrangement recording isn't lost to time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now it's the same shit all over again. Either they have no clue whatsoever or they're laughing at us at this point Like they were re-issued already 6 months ago.... Sony issued the original OST programs for the original trilogy in January of 2016 in digital and vinyl. But they were actually just remasters of the finished analog LP masters made in 77/80/83. In January of 2017, Disney Records reissued the digital editions Sony had just put out since Sony's contract was now over. The CDs Sony released in 2016 were the 1997 2CD sets, and Disney has not yet put out any Star Wars material on CD other than the TFA and TLJ OSTs until this release. This is the first time the OST albums have actually been properly remastered ever, and also the first time the 2LP program of TESB has been on CD ever. This is also the first time the prequel OSTs have been remastered ever, and this is actually those OSTs returning to being in print at all on CD since they've been officially OOP on CD since Jan 1 2017. Disney spending money to rebuilt and reissue the OST programs like this does not indicate proper remastered editions can't also happen in the future. It might even mean they are next on their schedule now that these are out. Holko and Tallguy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure why you put "remastering" in quotes - getting a fresh transfer of original elements and re-cutting them to match the old albums is the literal definition of remastering. If anything, you can put the 2016 Sony editions as a "remastering" in quotes, because all they did was take the old LP masters and spruce them up digitally.

Jay 37,249 Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 1999 -> 2005 was still the end of the analog era and beginning of the full digital era. Of course the prequels can sound better than the original OSTs did. The AOTC OST is full of hiss. (ROTS probably won't sound much different in the end). And of course, as always, no one is forcing you to buy the new versions or taking your old versions away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
