TownerFan 4,998 Posted September 25, 2015 Author Share Posted September 25, 2015 Surely the OT will be the 1997 presentations, while the prequels will be the OSTs. The only thing one could hope is that they're giving the OT a new mastering, but I'm doubtful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TownerFan 4,998 Posted September 25, 2015 Author Share Posted September 25, 2015 According to Amazon.com tracklist, both the OT and the prequels will be the OSTs, at least in the vinyl boxset:http://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Ultimate-Vinyl-Collection/dp/B015NOT9AY/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1443195376&sr=8-2&keywords=Star+Wars+ultimate+collectionStar Wars: The Ultimate Vinyl Collection includes each of the six film soundtracks from Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace to Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi in deluxe gatefold sleeves faithfully replicating the original artwork. Audio was transferred from the original LP masters using the highest resolution (up to 192kHz/24bit) and pressed with heavy 180gram vinyl. The six soundtrack set (on 11 LPs) is presented in a black, soft-touch laminated slipcase with an embossed, hot silver foil Star Wars logo and includes a digital download card for one complete box set (all six soundtracks).

Ricard 2,254 Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Surely the OT will be the 1997 presentationsYep. They already did that with the 2007 box-set, which included the 1997 versions in mini-album jackets replicating the original artwork. But I find it weird (and misleading) to release two different vinyl albums for each score in the OT with identical artwork but different content.Why use the original trilogy OST covers with the 1997 assemblies?Because it's Sony.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,360 Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 The amazon tracklist bags to differ.If true then this would be the first time that the OST for TESB is released in any format apart from LP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romão 2,311 Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 If it's 9 cd's on the boxset, it means the Special editions plus the OST's for prequels, I am right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,360 Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 The Star Wars and TESB OST's probably wouldn't fit a single CD. But ROTJ would.That would mean 8 CD's rather then 9 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romão 2,311 Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 True enough. But ROTJ would. So where do the 9 cd's come from, since they clearly state it's 9 cd's plus a bonus interview cd? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TownerFan 4,998 Posted September 25, 2015 Author Share Posted September 25, 2015 IMHO, whoever entered the data on Amazon probably mixed up the tracklists for the LP boxset with the CD boxset.
