Gosh, I don't know. Is there perchance a listing of the Star Wars sountracks that have been availible like the Davis DVD lising of the video releases? I am a John Williams fan, so I just wondered. Thanks
The only ones I'm aware of are the original LP releases of the OT, then there were some 'edited' CD editions that came out in the mid-1980s which I didn't buy. Then there was the boxed-set anthology that came out in the early 1990s which is fantastic. There's also the 'Star Wars Trilogy' LP and CD that was performed by the Utah Symphony. That one is great because it has the full "Jabba the Hutt" theme. There's a 'foreward' on that one, written by John Williams, praising the Utah Symphony and the conductor. There was another "trilogy" release in the mid-1990s that was John Williams conducting the 'Skywalker Symphony'. I was unhappy with the performances on that one, so I returned it to the store. Then, of course, the 1997 Special Edition releases on RCA (the first versions were limited edition 'laser etched' discs) and the 2004 Sony re-releases which have the exact same track listings as the RCA ones. Then the PT soundtrack CDs on the Sony label.
I don't have any info about a comprehensive CD listing. There probably is one, though, but you may have to dig around on the web to find it. Are you also interested in his other soundtrack recordings, or just the Star Wars movies?
