These are currently the only good scans for their albums on the entire internet. Thanks so much for those, it is truly impossible to find them in decent resolution. You don't perhaps have quality scans of the older non-DS RCA Red Seal CD releases? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may consider doing a complete saga set now that I'm getting more use to my editing program, but drawing all my covers is too time-consuming. I'm glad people liked them though. Also to @heidl and @JTWfan77 what font style do you use for Original Motion Picture Soundtrack and the Music Composed By... on your Star Wars covers?

Thanks so much for sharing. You are talented! Thanks for the compliment. I don't think mine are as good as some here and on FSM, I'm not trained or anything. I find it quite therapeutic fiddling around with cover art, it amazes me how I can spend hours tweaking a cover until I'm happy with it. Wish I had the time nowadays, since starting a new job in February I hardly get time to even switch on my PC anymore. But at least it puts soundtracks in the CD player.

Here is a bad pic of the LP release of the former: https://www.discogs.com/release/3207792-Music-From-John-Williams-Close-Encounters-Of-The-Third-Kind-Star-Wars/images I own the Red Seal ROTJ CD but was never able to track down the CD of Red Seal SW/CE3K. The LP was my first ever John Williams related album, purchased for me by my mom when I was a mere 5 years old (!) The Red Seal CD must be super rare, I think I've only ever seen it for sale once briefly on eBay and more recently on moviemusic.com. It's one of my top grails. I do own the later Dolby Surround re-issues of both though. The Illustrious Jerry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was really just looking for a simplistic design (often very effective) for a custom cover. When I finally saw the film the object that stood out to me was the light board. I just figured it would be a really good idea. Turns out it was better than expected. If you have any requests or recommendations for more Spielberg/Williams score or others please let me know and I'll see what I can do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
