The Charles Gerhardt Return of the Jedi release by the National Philharmonic also has an instrumental version of the ewok celebration scene.

Without english or ewokese lyrics.

The Star Wars and Empire Releases are also excellent.  I have the Charles Gerhardt Trilogy of star wars. 

The throne room and end title on star wars is a very nice rendition, better than the skywalker symphony.

The star wars themes on Star Tracks, and Time Warp by Erich Kunzel are nice as well.

I also have the Utah Symphony release that has a very moving rendition of the death of darth vader.

I also have the boston pops renditions of star wars themes but they don't come close to the LSO even under williams direction.

The only orchestra to ever come close to the LSO was the London Philharmonic on the three lord of the rings films.  But there LP from the seventies on star wars is second rate.

I don't know if your post above mentioned but some of the music from the special edition releases come from unreleased deleted scenes in the movies.  Like where luke builds his lightsaber in return of the jedi and sends the droids with their message to jabba. 

The extended Luke and Ben coversation in Return of the Jedi that was shot but ended up being mostly cut because is gave too much of the prequels away.  But remains in the novelization.
