Star Wars OST and the Story of Star Wars - Source 1/4" 4-Track Reel-to-Reel Tape (Released)

For my first post, I figured I’d feature a really cool project of mine, enjoy!

Star Wars & Story of Star Wars 7" Reel to Reel Collection

This set was released as an exclusive premium through TEAC soundsystems in 1978 when you bought one of their higher-end reel to reel components. The set contains two 7" audio reels of 1/4" stereo 4-track tape, a photo booklet, and the Star Wars album insert.

I came across this set and decided to digitize it, especially since there is no good non-vinyl copies of “The Story of Star Wars” that I could find.

I have cleaned up and Re-EQ’d for the best sound quality possible using my reference level speakers and equipment. I am not an expert, if someone else would like to take a crack at the raw files, please contact me.

You can find the download through some quick google-fu. The files are out there and very easy to find. I packaged up a scan of the booklet as well in the download.

Enjoy!!

Hi, awesome share…but how to get this ?

Awesome looking set! Didn’t even know this existed.

Spent some time searching… no luck either. Maybe some search criteria/keyword hints?

I used to HAVE this set, but never had the reel to reel machine to play it. Ended up giving them away as a gift.

It looks like when this thread went up (2016) the “easily google-able” part was true. But now in 2020, the link probably being referenced (http://www.yfymidatakuras.xpg.com.br/star-wars-24-96-flac.html) is long dead, and it appears to have never been archived, either.

I have those OST files stored on my laptop
