fraedün 0 Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Hey, I'm new here. My questions: Do the '97 edition releases of the OT scores have all the music for each OT film (except Lapti Nek and the original Ewok celebration) ? What does the Anthology have? Does it have anything that the '97 releases don't have (except L.N. and original E.C.) ? I have the '97 releases. Is there anything missing that I would want (aside from L.N. and E.C. ) ? Thanks, guys and gals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romão 2,274 Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 There a few seconds missing, IMHO, but nothing too significant. If you buy the RCA Special Editions, you'll be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indiana_Fett 0 Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 The SE doesn't contain every single note, the only one I can think of is the music at the begining of The Rebel Fleet in ESB. You're pretty much ok with what you have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romão 2,274 Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 There are a few seconds missing in The Light of the Force. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indiana_Fett 0 Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 So what is that, 15 seconds of unavalable JW? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fraedün 0 Posted March 30, 2006 Author Share Posted March 30, 2006 Are all of the little missing bits on the Anthology? What's the RCA editions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 The RCA editions are the 1997 editions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sulky 6 Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 The anthology set has an alternate version of Leia's News that more prominently features the ewok theme.The original polydor CD contains a synth overdub on The Emperor (aka The Emperor's Death),something that can't be heard on any subsequent release.While incomplete, the anthology version of ROTJ reputedly has better sound quality (or more accurately, some sayparts of Disc 2 on the RCA has really lousy sound) .

Diego 21 Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 The anthology also has the film version of the Empire end credits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMacGyver 0 Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Hm, I don't have that anthology set only the special edition releases. Seems like this 4-CD box is worth having but is it still available for a not-so-high price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry B 50 Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 You can most likely get the Anthology on eBay. All in all, it contains about ten minutes of RotJ music not available on the Special Edition set. The sound mixes are also much better. As for Star Wars and Empire, there's not much difference (though Empire has a very different mix, and there's debate over which sounds better; I personally prefer the Special Edition sound).

BurgaFlippinMan 7 Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 The anthology also has the film version of the Empire end credits.wait, u mean the RCA's isnt the film version? What's different again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego 21 Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 wait, u mean the RCA's isnt the film version? What's different again?Nothing mayor, the arrangement is the same with luke's theme, the rebel fanfare, yoda's theme, imperial march and the love theme, but the film version is a bit faster and the transition from yoda's theme to the imperial march seems a bit more abrupt to my ears.

Romão 2,274 Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 I would only get the anthology for ROTJ (and those 10 minutes are comprised mostly of source cues) wich has a better sound mix. The artwork is very nice also. But the SE are great releases. I wish every score release was like those. The SE's also have a better cue arrangement, IMHO, since the star wars score are some of the scores that don't suffer at all from havibg their tracks arranged in chronological order.

Luke Skywalker 1,792 Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Artwork of the anthology great? The Booklet is great, but the CD covers are just....Black... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romão 2,274 Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 I meant the booklet and the box that holds all the cds. And the covers are not plain black...there's some relief to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 1,059 Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Just get both and you'll be happy..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry B 50 Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 I would only get the anthology for ROTJ (and those 10 minutes are comprised mostly of source cues)Not really; the only source cue is "Lapti Nek." The Anthology has alternate versions of several cues, including a fragment of the now-lost concert arrangement of "Jabba the Hutt's Theme."
