Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 We will probably lose the charming clunky analog edits of the OT albums. It will be interesting to hear the end credits of ESB, for instance. This is kind of like modern fan edits of the old versions of the SW OT using newer remasters and digital technology to reassemble everything to match the original version. It's ironic.

Tallguy 3,383 Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 I think the first time I realized that the edits were edits was when I was at a theme park and they played the original album Main Titles. Over a theme park PA in a crowded park I could hear the edit from the main titles / blockade runner to the end title. And that was after 25 years.

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 I'm satisfied with the Sony remasters, but I'm curious what these will sound like. Because they're reconstructing the original album edits, they'll be weird. But they will be all new sounding versions. I wonder what Episodes II and III will sound like in particular. Those have a sort of muddy sound and lack punch on the OSTs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phbart 609 Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 I don't consider the 2016 release as a "remaster". Just a fresh transfer of the album masters. Now, for the 2018 release, they're reconstructing the album using superior sources. But I guess you know that already... right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 So when they go back to the original masters and do a new transfer, it's not considered a remaster? Is it considered a retransfer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phbart 609 Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 I have no idea! And I couldn't care less about what can be considered remaster and what cannot. What I want is that they sound better than ever before. If that can be called "remastering", then so be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crumbs 14,306 Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 "As best as can be obtained." Wonder if that means there were better sources available that are either missing or have perished? Seems to imply these scans are sourced from secondary copies of the film mixes. Should be interesting to finally hear some detail on the state of the master tapes, one way or another. I'm just thankful everything has finally been scanned at high resolution for preservation sake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
