  1. Oh yes, I forgot to mention the 1980s CD release... it's the same.
  2. 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).
  3. Here's an interesting article about all the cuts that were demanded for the UK theatrical release... https://melonfarmers.co.uk/bbfc_cuts_temple_of_doom.htm
  4. Temple of Doom is such a heartwarming film. I don't get why people got so upset about it...
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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... https://www.malonedigital.com/starwars.pdf Makes me sad to think that RotJ could sound terrific in the 1997 2CD set as it did in the Anthology set.
  8. That flute from 0:06 to 0:11 of Rescuing Sarah Alternate definitely reminded me Robert Altman's "Images". Spooky.
  9. I really don't know what to say about that. No offense to the reviewer, but I'm pretty sure he/she didn't get the "proper" leaked version. The 2014 Legacy edition is hissy as hell! I mean... hiss in a 1994 recording from a major studio?
