crocodile 7,998 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 I was actually thinking of getting the vinyl set. It looks very nice and I never had the original albums. But then, I sort of think to myself... why? Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amer 2,087 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Looks like the Sony Vinyl LP collection is also coming out separately on different dates. A LIMITED Gold plated Vinyl edition of STAR WARS A NEW HOPE ! just got listed on Amazon.co.uk. EMPIRE & JEDI are also coming out on Vinyl. Looks like the same content as in the Ultimate Vinyl box set. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Star-Wars-Episode-LIMITED-EDITION-VINYL/dp/B01CVFE8UY?ie=UTF8&redirect=true&ref_=pe_1965711_128123241_em_1p_5_ti Bespin and Unlucky Bastard 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarpia 132 Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 I wonder how it really looks. I still think is a deserving treatment for such an iconic score, but I cannot help but being afraid that all these multiple releases on various formats will make a complete release of the seven scores far more difficult, at least in the near future.

Amer 2,087 Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 So in regards to the Gold Vinyl pressings from Sony- will this gold pressing add to any improvement in the sound quality on the Vinyl player? Also now that Sony has issued the LP contents separately I have a feeling they might also reissue them on cd format separately? Milking the cash one more time before they relinquish the rights back to Lucasfilm and Disney. aj_vader 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as a whole, it sounds great. I discovered material that I had never heard before, and was greatly surprised, for example, at the level of detail in The Emperor. It makes me wonder why Williams scored that noisy scene in such a delicate and detailed fashion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who in the world would even approve such a major mistake? The CD program originates from the 1980 US Demo LP (who also served for international releases), it's organized like a single or an EP. After all on a vinyl, the outter grooves are the parts where the sound is better. Note that even on the original double LP, The Imperial March was also putted as the first track of a side (B1). As a demo, the purpose is also to identify the two major cues : The Imperial March and Star Wars Theme. Now, why The Imperial March before the Theme? Because it's a sequel... the Theme was already known (and used at every sauce) since 1977. The novelty here is The Imperial March!

Amazon must have made a pricing error and fixed it quickly. Here is a screenshot of IGN's original announcement of the sale, which has since been crossed out.

This could be really cool… Even a complete collection of the concert suites and arrangements from the Skywalker films, plus spin-offs like Solo and Obi-Wan. The amount of music JW has composed is staggering, and I think even this selection of pieces would be a great presentation of his work across the saga. I would buy a massive collection of new performances of his whole “Signature” collection of works, all of his concert suites across his entire filmography - not just Star Wars!

I don't get it. Sounds like he's admitting to malpractice. He talking about editing the masters instead of making a copy first and tossing anything that got edited out. When I worked in radio, back in the 90s, and edited commercials using a razor blade, I would always make a copy of the original and use the copy to edit. The very thought of trying to reinsert a piece of tape less than a couple of inches long (and don't let it get inserted backwards!) makes me shudder even all these years later. On something like ST:TMP, where the post-production was such a time crunch, that might happen, but still... (ST:TMP made it easy by editing to the music in places.)
