s.mess 0 Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 I'm going to rely on all of the experts around here to give me the best information on buying the ROTJ 2 Disc Special Edition Soundtrack from 1997. I'm looking for the Edition that came with the laser etched discs (that looked like the 2nd Death Star) and has the booklet attached to the black colored CD sleeve (not a plastic jewel case). I have already purchased it once at Amazon (used) and ended up with the edition that has a plastic (normal) jewel case with the removable booklet and the CD's that are designed with the Rebel Alliance logo. If I understand correctly, there is also a 3rd version that comes with the 1997 special edition poster in a slimline case. Amazon currently lists two different entries for the soundtrack (that I can find). The first is listed as a slimline edition (ASIN: B000003G8I) and says its original release date was March 11, 1997. The other (ASIN: B000003G91) states that it is from August 26,1997 (I'm guessing that it is the one with the Rebel Alliance logo??). Does anyone have any idea of which one of these will get me the item I'm looking before as described in the beginning of this post? Thanks!!

Trent B 337 Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Your best bet is to try ebay...that's where I got all 3 of the Limited Edition sets with the laser engravings on them. Mine are sealed since it's in an actual box set and plus I have the Sony 2004 sets. No the original 97' laser engraved ones I have are not for sale, sorry.

robthehand 3 Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Are you planning on selling them, Vosk?I guess that's the only point in keeping them sealed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trent B 337 Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Nope they won't ever be sold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robthehand 3 Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 If you don't mind me being so inquisitive, why keep them sealed then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trent B 337 Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 To keep them pristine and for collector's value. Like I said I have the Sony 2004 sets, which all know is pratically the same thing and that suites me just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red 75 Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 I have the 2004 sets. Is it just me or does ROTJ really need to be remastered? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd 30 Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Um...isn't the purpose of having collectibles in pristine condition is to increase their resale value? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurgaFlippinMan 7 Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 well, the RCA sets are still available here. Not too hard to find, but not too common either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Mark 3,631 Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 I have the laser etched disks.I'd go with the Jewel case ones if I had to buy them over.The booklets get damaged easily and the c.d.'s are hard to pull out of the slieves without scratching them.K.M.

I remember that when I first originally had the 97' Laser Etched ones before I rebought them as 'collector's items'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 1,059 Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 I have the 2004 sets. Is it just me or does ROTJ really need to be remastered?No you'll find many threads with that discussion.I bought the book sets and mine are still in great shape after 9 years. One thing I did was to laminate the cardboard sleave that slides over the books. I have yet to have any major scratches on my discs. If you take care of your CDs and cases they will last for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
