Put them all in a playlist (as well as TFA and TLJ): https://open.spotify.com/user/brannontds/playlist/0k7LpNoWUGGPZESWIH1Ti9?si=T-Dl-E5DQgyPUCoHWSHLBw

PSA the '2016 hi-res soundtracks" are different from the 2018 remasters. The new SKUs that came out the other day are entirely new masters.
It seems like there’s a little confusion in here.
I would put this in my sig if I weren’t so lazy.

Well that’s interesting! And I’m glad, as the stuff I downloaded (again, possibly not the real deal) was definitely not a good-sounding issue. I guess I’ll pull the trigger at HDTracks and see.

I am reading some comments at jwfan.com, and it seems the 2018 releases are messy, with the Empire score being particulary criticised (drops in sound quality, some theories about poor preservation of the original material, etc): http://www.jwfan.com/forums/index.php?/topic/28377-remasters-of-the-first-6-star-wars-soundtracks-now-available-shawn-murphy-disney-records-2018/&page=22&tab=comments#comment-1477806
The funny thing, it seems this time they have gone directly to the original elements, instead of using the 1977-83 album masters as they did two years ago.
Well the good news is that it’s a very different sound from the 2016 hi-res copies I have. Very big, great size and weight.
I’ve only given it a casual and cursory listen, but the Empire stuff is a noticeably different presentation than previous releases, with lots of reverb. I’d love to know if it was added recently or if it was retrieved from the original multis (no liner notes come with the HDTracks download), but in any case, on first listen anyway, it sounds pretty great!
…that is, except The Asteroid Field - which seems to have most of the instruments bunched up on the left, with mostly low strings and reverb on the right. Really bizarre. I haven’t listed to all of these yet, but so far that’s the only track I’ve heard with such radical changes.

what a shame. that’s my favorite cue.
I’m guessing this is the playlist you’re looking for
