ChrisAfonso 186 Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 saturn, Hamburg, GermanyLooks like the absolute standard edition.SK94220 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIEfighter 0 Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 Mediamarkt, Dornbirn, Austria15 Tracks with a total running time of 70 Minutes and 51 seconds, SK94220 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Ware 526 Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 WH Smiths, Norwich, UK.SK 94220, 15 tracks.Several tracks on the album are incorrectly flagged as HDCD, confusing my Denon AVR-3805. Grrr.The bonus DVD is PAL, but does NOT suffer from PAL speedup. Interestingly, the DVD marks the first time that the prequel recording of the Main Title has been officially released with a clean ending.HMV in the UK has a gold and silver variant of the Amazon slipcase.

Hitch 57 Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 HMV, Galway City, Ireland. 12:15pm 1st May 2005. SK 94220, 15 tracks, 70 mins 51 secs. On location in Connemara filming THE SHEEPS' FAREWELL TO THE MOUNTAIN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisAfonso 186 Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 I forgot to mention, my version doesn't have that obnoxiously big FBI warning... just a "12+" rating icon, because of the DVD.BTW, I found this really annoying, courtesy of Sony:Which one doesn't fit?

Greg1138 3 Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 Gold slipcase, standard 15 tracks + "12" rating for the DVD...and yes, I find that "Spine" annoying too.....Cat Number is SK 94220....other than the slipcase here appears to be no "Special Editions" available in the UK, no bonus tracks or anything.....

TIEfighter 0 Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 Besides from the music, the whole design of CD, Cover, inlay is an absolute failure...even the poster is just crap...at the moment I´m working on my own design for the album cover, back cover etc., if anyone wants to have a look at it i´ll post it when I´m done with it...my version doesn't have that obnoxiously big FBI warningSince the FBI usually does not operate in other countries than the United States, it makes sense that it´s not on the european version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisAfonso 186 Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 Yes, but who knows what deterring anti-piracy warning they could have slapped on there... I still detest the meaningless "won't play on pc/mac" thing on the AOTC cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg1138 3 Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 Sadly it doesn't play on everyone's.....thank goodness they chucked the idea for this release though.....

Todd 30 Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 Hey all...got the soundtrack at WalMart in Mesa, Arizona...with a new catalog: SK 94480.As for the bonus track...included instructions say to go to www.walmart.com/musicdownloads/starwars and enter your claim code. The site, however, is not up yet...and I'm not sure if the code can be used more than once...so not posting or asking for it.Funny...the plastic had a sticker on it announcing the bonus download as an interview with John Williams...so what the hell did they keep us in the dark about.Haven't watched the DVD or given it a listen yet...going to all night. Its all you can do when you work from home and set your hours!!!BTW...the anti piracy thing is big as hell...AND on both discs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven Awalt 0 Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 Looks like the interview only comes in frickin WMA format, which leaves Mac users out in the cold. I swear to God I am so fed up with Sony and Lucasfilm's marketing tactics. Last time I was stupid enough to be snookered into buying the album twice so I could get the extra track. This time, I'm just SOL all around. Now why is the record industry suffering?I'm going to ask outright, and I don't care about the legalities (since I'm paying for something I can't freaking acquire through Walmart anyway): can any PCs users rip this track and share it here with we Mac users who paid fair and square for the thing?

JoeinAR 1,949 Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 Target in North Little Rock,SK 94574packaging is standard, but the liner notes by Lucas made me want to vomit, Anakin Skywalkers' tragic turn to the Dark Side, palease, he made a choice, it wasn't tragic, he's a nasty little spoiled punk, thats the reason the prequels have sucked, the "main character" just isn't interesting.Still so far I like this score, how it ranks will be decided over the next few weeks and months.

Jango Fett 0 Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 Maybe someone has said it before in another post, for it has been ages since I have posted and looked on this message board. But when I was just surfing the internet, my eye came along an advert. When I clicked on it I came across some clips from the new included DVD 'A musical journey'. This might be interesting I think. It is in dutch, that's true, but nevertheless the links is what it all is about isn't it!

After trying to tell the guy I wasn't an idiot...and realizing he was an asshole...I went to another, more helpful Walmart where and employee went straight to the back and found a copy for me.What is with these stockers that makes them think they are the coolest thing since sliced bread?
