    Maybe Disney will release music streaming service, Disney Audio+, and the expanded music of Star Wars, remastered directly from the 16-track tapes (found in a random display booth of a convention) will premiere there... ...or wil gonna have to wait for the 50th anniversary in 2027. Anyways. We know there are 16-track masters of SW, partial 24-track masters for ESB (OST cues only), but I don't think it was ever mentioned about a 24-track masters for Jedi. The Malone pdf says it was recorded that way, but I don't remember been mentioned that it was ever available or used in any of the re-releases. Only 2-track, 3-track and what have you, was mentioned.

    Nice info. Seems like they are having a hard time telling if a tape reel is a dub or a master or a film synch mix. Seems like they don't even know where they are, what they're doing, where they're going, where they've been... Doesn't look good.

    I rarely trust Amazon regarding tech info and special features.

    From what I read, he was drunk as hell and was trying to simulate the film's cover art without Sissy Spacek... and the river.
  5. phbart
    Yep. Pretty much that's about it. I also would love to know if the complete set of 24-track tapes from ESB were located. According to the Malone pdf, for the 97 SE, only the cues that were on the 1980 OST album were available in the 24-track masters. All the other cues came from the variety of inferior sources used for the 93 Anthology. I sort of lost the "Shawn Murphy 2015 comments" part. What were those?

    Instead of the traditional cover art, he could use this one...

    Jedi OST sounds fine because they used the original engineer's mix. I don't think the Anthology and the 2018 releases of Jedi are a sonic downgrade.
  8. phbart
    As an extended edition, the Anthology is the way to go. Too bad they didn't have time and proper guidance to put together the music with the correct takes. The SE is just not a pleasant listening experience. It's very well put together, but the sound is just... too much. As long as they don't sound like the original albums...

    No need. The Malone pdf doc mentioned this already. I think what's been discussed here is what source they actually used for the 2018 release, not the 1997, now that it's clear the 16-track tapes with the goodies were indeed located, but unclear what was made with them (bought back from the seller, or just borrowed and digitized, or if they were in good shape, etc). While the video shows what seems be the 35mm mag tape transfer, judging from a random file name, AND a 16-track channel mapping log along with a 3-track one, it's not clear what they had in their hands. Those 16-track logs could very well be the same one they had in 1997, that is, from the set of tapes that weren't the goodies. There are endless possibilities, and we're just doing what we do best here: theorize about ALL of them.
  10. phbart
    Could be otherwise. The 35mm mag tapes with the 16-track original channel mapping.
  11. phbart
    Yes, I was going to mention that. I also remember Chris Malone mentioning that the 35mm mag was a live recording made alongside the 16-track tape. So it could be that those 3-track breakdowns are just a guide as to how the live 3-track recording was configurated. Who knows. But it's a strong indication that all the 1st generation elements are preserved. It's just a matter of getting someone who knows how to handle them. I believe they only used the 35mm mag for the 1997 sets. The 16-tracks with the goodies were not available to them at the time.

    Thanks for pointing it out, fellows. I was just watching it, and it really gives me the creeps to see those old people with hearing loss holding such a responsibility that is restore the master tapes. One other thing. It's confusing as to what source they actually used for SW. This screencap clearly shows "Mag" written in file name, which could mean they used the 35mm magnetic elements, which is 4-track However this screen here shows what seems to be a 16-track channel log.
  13. phbart
    I really thought those 16-track tapes were used for the 2018 release. @Jay those images you posted... are they from a video?
  14. phbart
    The 16-track tapes of SW containing the correct takes were found a long time ago, in a galaxy far far away. I didn't know they used 4-track for the 2018 release. http://filmscoremonthly.com/board/posts.cfm?forumID=1&pageID=3&threadID=101432&archive=0

    F*ck me! No wonder why Imperial March and Yoda's Theme sounds terrific on the 2018 release. Yes, they do (haters gonna hate). Chris Malone had already pointed that the 24 track masters of ESB that contained the cues used for the 1980 OST were used for the 97 SE, but were horribly mixed. Hope they found all of the 24 track masters.

    Long time no see, Intrada. But wait... a JW title not being released by LLL?? 2020 is definitely getting out of hand.
  17. phbart
    Have you tried it with shrimp sauce? It's delicious.
  18. phbart
    Because if it looks bad, then it sounds bad.
  19. phbart
    I see. So, on CD2, the portion that looks bad is the one that is present on the leaked sessions, and the portion that looks good is the insert, which is not on the leaked sessions. Is that right?
  20. phbart
    The recording sessions looks stunning. I've never actually looked at the in the spectral view. Really weird what happened on CD2. And portions of the track looks fine, compared to the sessions.
  21. phbart
    I've loooong forgot about VHS.
  22. phbart
    DAT looks bad, definitely. I always thought something wasn't right, but never bothered to check it myself. These portions of the film version, are they present in the leaked recording sessions? It would be interesting to see a comparison.
  23. phbart
    Don't be. Life is too short.
  24. phbart
    Maybe they meant in widescreen.
  25. phbart
    DAT's what I thought.
